Pitbull hero
MANATEEE COUNTY (Bay
News 9) -- Pitbull stories don't usually end with the dog
as a hero but don't tell James
Kimon of Bradenton that.
Kimon is calling his pit bull,
Hennessey, a hero.
Kimon said someone broke
into his Bradenton home
Friday night when he and his
children were sleeping.
He said he woke up when he
heard his dog attacking the intruder. The suspect fired shots at, but
did not hit, the dog.
"It was just too hectic, all I could do is hear the dog she was just
attacking," Kimon said. "That's how I knew someone was in here is
because I could hear the guy say 'hey get off me,' so she did her
job."
The suspect broke through the
bedroom of the house, where the
family had hidden in a closet. They
say they heard the dog attacking him
again.
The intruder took off running, and neither the dog nor the family
members were injured.
Kimon said that nothing was taken from his home. The suspect
remains at large.
