This family dog saved a boy who was being attacked by pitbulls.  The pitbulls entered the yard and attacked a puppy first.  The thirteen year old boy tried to get the pitbulls off the puppy by banging them on the head with a frying pan.  When the pitbulls turned on him and he screamed, the other family dog, a German shorthair, attacked the pitbulls.  (At this point the mom got the boy and the puppy into the house.)  The police arrived and shot the pitbulls but by that time the German shorthair (Tytus) was severely injured.  He is currently receiving medical treatment. 

Imagine what could have happened to the boy if his dog hadn’t lept to his defense!
