Dog Who Was Stabbed In The Head While Trying To Protect His Owner From An Armed Robber, Miraculously Survives
Dogs can be not only our best friends but also our rescuers in the time of need. The heroic German Shepard Duke proved it by almost sacrificing his life to defend his beloved owner from an armed robber.

When Duke’s Gino Wensel, 40, from South Africa, took him out for a walk he noticed a suspicious man with a knife in his hand approaching. Before Gino had the chance to react, Duke rushed into action.
To protect his owner from what seemed to be a robbery attempt Duke began aggressively growling at the stranger.
However, the heartless man responded by lodging a knife into the puppy’s head. Duke used his remaining strength to scare off the cruel criminal and collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Duke was still alive after the brutal attack, so his heartbroken owner immediately brought him to the vets.
Duke was taken to the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa, which turns 90 years old on the 9th of March 2019. “Duke came into our hospital in a critical state and our medical team had to act fast to save his life,” the nurse told Bored Panda. “Unfortunately, we will never know what went through the gangster’s head that did this to Duke, but all that mattered to us was to save Duke’s life,” she added. An X-ray was taken to see what kind of damage the knife wound had caused. It became clear that the vets had to act quickly. “Seconds seemed like hours and with Duke lapsing in and out of consciousness our veterinarian very quickly concluded that if we were to save him the knife needed to be extracted urgently,” the organization wrote in their Facebook post.
Luckily, the veterinarian managed to save Duke’s life by safely removing the knife and the whole staff and Gino were overwhelmed with relief.
The heroic Duke was quickly reunited with his owner and praised for his loyalty.

I really have a lot of words in spanish for this grandisimo mother f..... who hurt this great boy, I hope the agressor gets what he deserves. On the other hand I´m happy this baby is recovering well and getting all the cuddles and treats of the universe. <3<3<3<3
Awww.....I wish I could give him tons of treats, hugs and kisses for this heroic act!! Poor baby, glad he is okay!!
There is no doubt, that most dogs would attempt to help their master, they don't think first, they just act, such a hero, lucky man !!!
Stab a dog in the head? Seriously? I wish the worst possible version of hell was real, that person needs to go there. Just eternal torture, no biggie. Stabbing a dog in the head.. Jeez.
Not really excellent Vet surgeon. Great fast action by human owner.

Dukes owner is incredibly lucky to have such a loyal companion! A beautiful story xxx
That dog gets steaks the rest of his life as far as I'm concerned.....
So thankful Duke was ok, what a good boy, just another reason dogs are the greatest.
Where in SA do they live? I would love to give Duke a present for saving his human's life!
Our animals just know. We had 2 boxers - the one who was mine would be aggressive against my violent partner - the other was just anxious - but mine would proctect me seriously-...231b58.jpg 
Dogs are more loyal then people and they would give their life for the people they love. And human are still so heartless to them. Sometimes I hate my race.
I hope the dog is fine and the coward get stabbed in the head xD lmao
Dogs are amazing. I was home alone one day when some guys came to replace my broken front window. They were looking at me in an appraising, speculative way. My 2 hero dogs got between me and them and would not let them any closer than about 20 feet. I had never trained them, and they had never done this before, or ever again. I don't know whether they sensed my discomfort or their hostile intentions. Maybe both, but I am so grateful. Your poor dog! I am thrilled that he recovered.
Have a serious question for dog owners - what would you do if a larger dog had you pinned to the ground and in serious fear of your life?

Did you get a good look at that knife? Not a pocketknife, so the attacker was probably intent on doing someone some harm. Let's not diminish what Duke did. He loves his human and would die for him. Would you do the same?
