According to the Prince William County Police Department in Woodbridge, Virginia, a 10-year-old girl's dog bit a man attempting to kidnap her. The girl was walking her dog in the afternoon on July 28th when an unknown man approached her and suddenly grabbed her arm. 

 According to police, the dog then bit the man, causing the suspect to release the girl and then flee on foot. The girl was not injured in the incident. Authorities searched the area, but were unable to locate the suspect. 

Many dogs are known to be very protective of their family members, especially children. This case is a perfect example of the dog being protective. Thankfully the heroic dog was there to stop the attempted abduction and essentially save the girl's life.
