A family dog in West Vancouver, Canada saved his human kids from a bear. The children, aged 2 to 6 were in a treehouse when the bear wandered into the back yard. The dog stood at the base of the tree, barking at the bear and wouldn’t move.
The bear eventually left after the parents came out banging pots and pans.
It’s believed the bear came for the plums in the plum tree. Needless to say, the home owners demolished the tree to keep away any other bears that may be tempted. 
A security guard in Australia spotted two men who appeared to be breaking into a van. When the two men, wearing large black hood over their faces saw the guard, they lunged toward him - which caused him to fall over a bench.
Unfortunately for them, they didn’t see the big Rottweiler near the guard. The dog chased the men for a time but came back to stand by the security guard until help could arrive.
When the men fled, they lost the hoods that were on covering their faces, so the guard was able to give the police a good description.

There has been no word on how the victim died.
In Australia, a heroic German Shepard dog named Jet heard the screams of a woman being dragged off by a rapist and leapt into action. Jet was on a walk in the park with her owner Mick when she broke free of her leash and ran toward the sound of the frantic woman. Jet’s owner was wearing headphones and didn’t hear the woman’s cries for help. As Jet approached the woman and the assailant, the man saw Jet and ran off.
Mick said it was completely out of character for 2 year old Jet to break free of her leash. But obviously Jet’s protective nature caused her to react the way she did. Unfortunately, when the police arrived, there was no sign of the rapist.
