Cape Town – A group of would-be robbers had to abort their robbery plan and run to safety, as they met their match in a feisty family dog.
A video of the dog chasing the five suspected robbers has gone viral on Facebook, with many calling the dog a hero.
The incident is believed to have happened at the Newlands surburb in Durban.
In the video five men are seen jumping over a yard wall.
But a medium-sized dog immediately sends them packing, as it charges towards them.
One of the suspects barely escapes the clutches of the dog and jumps off.
Facebook users have praised the dog for its efforts to protect his home, with some recommending that the homeowners should reward the brave dog with a meaty treat.
