A 9-year-old rescue dog named “Spuds” rescued his family from an alleged intrusion at their Pennsylvania home by attacking the man and helping restrain him until police arrived.
The pitbull’s owner, Leroy Rucker, said, “Spuds is a protector.”
On March 24, Spud proved his love for his owner by protecting them from the alleged trespasser.
“I was just sitting in here watching TV and YouTube with the dogs like I always do,” Rucker recalled to Fox 8 in a recent interview.
That’s when 53-year-old Robert Burke Jr. allegedly came bursting through the door. The owners and their beloved dog, Spud, quickly jumped to action.
“He wasn’t going to just walk in my house uninvited.” Rucker told Fox 8 adding, “He sees me fighting, he wants to fight.”

Uuuuuhhhm, the last time I visited a Cabela’s outlet, they had all kinds of security all over the place. Brilliant move there, young Poindexter!

That Colt is proof that just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Garish at minimum.
Dunno what you’re seeing, David, but I’m seeing a stainless or polished-steel look to the cylinder and hammer. Nothing fancy the the pic AW1Ed put up.
A sweet little SAA like that can come to my holster any time.
Spuds is a Good Boy! No better trip wire protection for the home than a rescued Pittie.
Yeah, lets go rob a store with high security and instant police response.
Wonder if that Colt SAA comes with the upgraded Baldwin Auto Fire Feature?
