Hero dog saves store owner and chases off armed robber

CCTV footage from the Mont d'Or tobacco shop in Manosque, France, shows a terrifying scene that fortunately has a happy ending.

Just as the owner of the shop was closing up for the day, an armed and masked robber attempted to hold up the store owner while he was outside taking out the trash. The man quickly retreated into the store, but the thief followed him. The man then runs behind the counter, and unleashes his large dog. Together, they proceed to fight off the gun-wielding thief.

The Sun reports that both the dog and owner were unharmed in the incident and the robber left empty-handed.
