NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There’s a dog that took a bullet, possibly saving his owner’s life. And surprisingly, the 12-year-old pit bull shot in the head survived.
The pit bull named “Kilo” was off to the vet Wednesday for a check-up, after taking a bullet for his owner, Justin Becker.
“He’s a hero. He saved my life. He went to protect me and he did his job,” Becker told CBS 2's John Slattery.

Even Dr. Greg Panarello, the veterinarian who treated the dog, was impressed.
“Incredibly lucky. Incredibly lucky,” Panarello said.

It happened Saturday evening in Becker’s apartment house in the Graniteville section of Staten Island. A gunman, posing as a FedEx deliveryman, wearing a uniform, rang the bell and said he had a package, but then pushed his way into the apartment.

“He barged in. My first reaction after seeing the gun is push him out, so I pushed him to the door. Like I said, he fell like wedged right by the door. I slammed him inside the door and he was stuck and tried to get out now because he was getting crushed,” Becker said.

His girlfriend has been holding the dog and let go.
“I was shocked and I was terrified,” Nicole Percoco said.
The dog went after the gunman.

But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

If one of my hounds saved my life they would get rewarded with this.
a lifetime worth of meat.

Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

When I lived in a loft in Atlanta many years ago, we had a dog on the property (old train station surrounded by razor wire topped fence) who was huge and yellow and didn't belong to anyone...he just lived there.

Dude broke in one night (came thru the gate when a car was entering) and started waving a gun around. Big yella ate the dudes face and put him down hard. He got shot in the head and shoulder. Was back at home about 2 weeks later. Everyone pitched in on the vet bill and he ate like a king for the rest of his life.
