This Precious Pup Lost Her Leg After Protecting Her Home From Armed Robbers

On December 30, Brenton Sutton thought a friend was knocking on his front door. Instead, he was confronted by several armed, masked men. One of them shot his Rottweiler, Roxy, before they fled the scene empty-handed.

As soon as the shot was fired, Sutton, fearing for his own life, ran out his back door and jumped the fence to his neighbor’s yard. Minutes later, he returned with a knife and expected to find Roxy dead. Miraculously, she was alive — but she was bleeding profusely.

Before the events of that night, Roxy was a happy, healthy dog, as well as the star of her very own Instagram account.

Then, an armed robber shot her in the leg. Her dad rushed her to the vet, and when he returned to the scene of the horrific incident the next morning, he couldn’t stop crying.
