A Woof Saves His Woman

This story has been shared several times on Facebook. 
It's about a recently adopted pit bull who protected his person from a car jacker.

Not long after 9/11 I was picking up my husband at the airport. We had a Honda van with the back row of seats folded down. In the back of the van we had our two dogs. One was a fluffy, yellow lab mix. The other was a tall, muscular Rhodesian Ridgeback mix.

The inspector ran some kind of machine over the car and under the edge of the carriage and started to open the sliding door on the side of the van. I deliberately hadn't unlocked it yet. I was very clear that he should NOT open the door and that I would come around and open it for him. With my hand on the door handle, I explained that I would get the dogs out and he could then inspect whatever he wanted.

I opened the door. The guy looked in. The big dog stood there confidently and woofed once. The guy decided I could go on through. So I got back in the car and we did.
