A dog managed to thwart a robbery in one of the streets of Ecuador, by intervening and protecting a neighbor.

In an act of unexpected courage, a dog in Ecuador prevented three criminals, who were traveling on a single motorcycle, from committing an assault on a man who was walking quietly down the street. The incident, which took place in an urban area, was a sign of courage on the part of the dog, who, noticing the dangerous situation, did not hesitate to intervene.

According to witnesses to the event, the criminals approached their victim with the intention of robbing him, but before they could finalize their plan, the dog quickly jumped to the scene, barking and showing a defiant attitude. Faced with the unexpected reaction of the animal, the three thieves were surprised and, fearing for their safety, fled the place without achieving their task.

This heroic act of the dog has been widely recognized by the neighbors, who have been grateful for the intervention of the animal that, without thinking twice, defended the passerby.

Meanwhile, the local authorities continue to investigate the case to find the whereabouts of the criminals, who continue to be fugitives.
