A video that has gone viral on social networks shows how a dog protects its owner from thieves on the streets of the capital of Colombia.
Dante, an eight-year-old farmer, became a hero by stopping three armed criminals from robbing his owner.
According to the owner, the incident occurred around 9:20 p.m. on Monday, June 3, when he returned to his house, located in the El Jazmín neighborhood of Puente Aranda, Bogotá.
The owner reported that while he was keeping his car with the gate open, he was approached by the criminals. One of them hit him on the head demanding the keys to the vehicle. At that moment, Dante reacted, started barking and attacked the thieves until they fled. Dante's intrepid action was recorded in security camera videos that went viral on the networks.
The brave farmer, in a show of unwavering loyalty, stood between his owner and the aggressors, without a moment's hesitation. His barking sounded like a warning that evil would not be tolerated in his presence. The thieves, surprised by the dog's fierce determination, chose to abandon their criminal attempt and escape the scene.
After the events, Dante was hailed as a local hero, receiving signs of affection and recognition from the community. Their bravery inspired a feeling of hope and solidarity at a time when insecurity stalks the city streets
