Madison, WI. police say a dog came to the rescue of it’s owner, thwarting an attempted sexual assault in a city dog park.
Early Tuesday morning a 36-year-old woman was walking her Golden Retriever in the off-leash exercise section of Sycamore Park on the city’s east side when she heard someone approaching behind her.
“The next thing she knew, a man reeking of alcohol had his arms around her and was grabbing at her chest,” said Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain.
The woman screamed, and in a flash her dog came to her rescue, posturing and growling at the attacker. One look at the menacing canine was enough: the perp turned tail and ran.
“The dog knew its owner was in trouble and came growling, barking and gnashing its teeth,” DeSpain said. “The attacker fled.”
The woman said she was shaken and crying when she ran to her car and called 911. Because she was approached from behind, no description of the attacker is available.
Good doggie
!
Dogs are always good to have with you when you are out and about. Glad this dog was there for its owner.
give that puppy whatever it wants
I think its time for a steak dinner, for the dog! Great job, baby!!

Good Doggie!!!!
Good dog!!! My Aussie won’t even let our meter man come in the yard if I’m outside with her. That is love.
That’s right baby!
Lakota is the first dog who didn’t say “oh, welcome to our home, let me show you where the silver is.”

I love dogs.

GOOD Dog, lucky owner- give your love to this GReat doggie forever (:
Does someone else’s dog attempting to hump your leg constitute a sexual assault? If so, my Boxer would have none of that…He’d protect me.
I just love those chihuahuas!
You’d have to be a real idiot to come at me like that, I am the “property” of my cane corso’s lol…you cant get to me if you cant get past them first thats for sure
Dogs are our angels on earth.

Yeah, baby! Not on YOUR watch.
That dog deserves the royal treatment for life!
Best. Dog. Ever.

As a journalist, one of my most remembered interviews was with 4 guys in a high-max prison. What did they hate most about breaking into a house? Dogs. Big or little did not matter. They hated ‘dog alarms.’
what a wonderful story!!! I have 2 rescued golden retrievers <3 <3
Well, it’s unlikely that felons would like those dogs either.
Good dog. I’m glad he was so protective.
HUGE hugs to her FAITHFUL Fur-Baby!!! Now……if ONLY more PEOPLE would come to the rescue of the MILLIONS of abused ANIMALS….then we could say that we HUMANS are as caring as THEY are!!!
Smarter then some human’s
