Angela and her 2 year-old son, Jordon, were at a playground at Higgs Park in Port Charlotte, FL when a man armed with a knife came up to her, put the knife to her side and told her not to scream.
Thats when her savior appeared out of nowhere, charging full force at the at the armed attacker, teeth bared, fur flying and growling.
Angela’s savior was a 65-lb stray dog.
“God only knows what would have happened if he didn’t show up,” said Angela. “As soon as he growled he just let go of me and took off.”
As soon as her attacker let go, Angela grabbed her son and took off toward her car, her furry savior following at her heels.
“Before I could shut my son’s car door, he jumped right in and I wasn’t going to sit there and try to get him out. I just had to leave before that guy came back,” said Angela.
“After the cops left, we were waiting for Animal Control and he stood by my door and did not leave my door. He sat there and did not leave,” said Angela.
Animal control came a took her four-legged hero to the local shelter but Angela says he won’t be there long. If his owner doesn’t come forward to claim him, she’s going to adopt him.
“I don’t know what his intentions were- I don’t know why he did it, but I’m glad that- we call him Angel- I’m glad that Angel showed up because I don’t know what would have happened,” Angela said.
What a wonderful story and yet another amazing dog. Sometimes guardian angels come in different forms and Angela and her son’s just had four legs and fur. 
I would never have allowed that hero to go to Animal Control.Why didn’t she take it home and put an ad in the lost column of her newspaper? No one will pick up this dog unless it is someone who wants to train a dog to be vicious by pretending to be it’s owner. I know, I used to run a shelter!!!
ANGELA PLEASE GO PICK UP THAT DOG RIGHT NOW. HE SHOULD HAVE COME HOME WITH YOU. DEANA PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ANGELA. THAT DOG NEEDS TO COME HOME TODAY!!!!!
@Nancy – I going to try to keep positive about this great story. The dog was not described not was a picture shown anywhere. If someone tried to claim him I’m sure they will have to show some kind of proof that he is theirs, otherwise Angela will have her Angel soon.
@JANET MITCHELL – If I had some way of getting a hold of the young lady, I would pass it along Janet. If the owner of the dog doesn’t show up I am quite sure that Angela will be at the shelter right away. This way the dog has a chance to be taken care of however the shelter looks after their charges and if there is an owner looking for him, a chance to go home.
After he saved her life, she couldn’t deny him the chance if he was just lost and there was a family looking for him. If not, there will be soon.
@Admin – THANKS DEANNA I KNOW THE DOGS OWNERS SHOULD HAVE THE DOG BACK I JUST WISH ANGELA COULD HAVE TAKEN IT HOME & GAVE THE SHELTER HER NAME & NUMBER SO AT LEAST IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE KEPT IN A CAGE AT A SHELTER. I KNOW THE SHELTER WILL TAKE CARE OF IT BUT IT’S SAD TO KNOW THAT LITTLE HERO IS SITTING IN A CAGE TILL THEN. BY THE WAY DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG SHE HAS TO WAIT TILL SHE CAN BRING THE HERO HOME & DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LET US KNOW WHAT HAPPENS?
yeah, how could she call animal control…what an idiot….once again dog’s kindness and unselfishness goes unappreciated.
does she realize what life is like in a shelter…that dog must be so depressed and confused….how could she be so cruel and selfish….really…i am speechless…and forget the fact that at shelters they just kill, kill, kill …regardless of what the paperwork says…idots…
@roseanna – WAIT I TALKED TO DENNA & LIKE SHE SAID THIS DOG MAY BELONG TO SOMEONE SO THEY WANNA GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO FIND OUT. IF NOBODY CLAIMS IT ANGELA WILL GET TO KEEP IT, AS IT BEING A HERO IT WOULD ONLY RIGHT FOR THE DOG TO GO BACK TO IT’S OWNER IF IT HAS ONE AS IT’S OWNER MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR IT & IT PROBABLY MISSES IT’S OWNER IF IT HAS ONE. SO DON’T BE TO HARD ON THIS WOMEN AS SHE IS ONLY DOING WHATS RIGHT FOR THE DOG. BELIEVE ME THIS DOG WON’T BE KILLED AS THEY KNOW IT’S ALLREADY SPOKEN FOR & VERY MUCH WANTED.
she probably didn’t have a choice in the matter of animal control. once the police were involved because of the attack, they would have automaticaly brought in animal control. i’m sure they all want the dog to go to the lady he saved and that they will do their best to screen anyone who comes forward to claim the dog. don’t forget, the dog would hae to respond positively to the person who was trying to claim him and with this being a fairly high profile animal, i’m sure they will take extra measures to be sure.
I read this story on the Animal Farm Foundation website (a pitbull rescue organization), and there is a photo of the dog – this was a pitbull…I wish they’d publish that in these other articles to give them some positive publicity!!!

WOW! Let a Pitbull do something wrong, and it’s front page news nationally. It gets all the attention, and people react to the hype, without really knowing anything about the breed (before some jerk came along and screwed up that individual dog). THIS story should have been ALL OVER THE NEWS!!!
I think Pitbulls are dogs with passion, they do whatever they think they are supposed to do WITH PASSION. Unfortunately for them, some ‘people’ have really exploited them because of this.
