Pit Bull Hero

Pitbull stories don't usually end with the dog as a hero but don't tell James Kimon of Bradenton that.

Kimon is calling his pit bull, Hennessey, a hero.

Kimon said someone broke into his Bradenton home Friday night when he and his children were sleeping.

He said he woke up when he heard his dog attacking the intruder. The suspect fired shots at, but did not hit, the dog.

"It was just too hectic, all I could do is hear the dog she was just attacking," Kimon said. "That's how I knew someone was in here is because I could hear the guy say 'hey get off me,' so she did her job."

The suspect broke through the bedroom of the house, where the family had hidden in a closet. They say they heard the dog attacking him again.

The intruder took off running, and neither the dog nor the family members were injured.

Kimon said that nothing was taken from his home. The suspect remains at large.

Pit's are AMAZING guard dogs! My female pit didn't let the houseowner in when he came for the rent money haha ;) she was only 5months back then.

But no seriously, pitbulls are close to my heart. Everything positive about my life has to do with my dog. Still miss her... as she isn't with me anymore.
