Two intruders entered a screen printing shop in Virginia Beach. Their intentions are not entirely known but they were armed and dangerous.

They were immediately confronted by Rico, a one year old Pit bull waking up from a nap. The intruders shot Rico in the head with a .45-caliber handgun.. This brave Pit Bull bit down on one of the attacker’s arms, allowing the shop employees time to escape.

“I know for a fact he saved our lives,” said a shop owner to the Virginian-Pilot. “It was amazing, because I’ve never seen him act out aggressively.”
