This in from ACT Policing:

ACT Policing is investigating an attempted aggravated robbery which occurred on Von Guerard Crescent, North Lyneham around 6.20pm last night (Wednesday, December 22).

The victim, a 19-year-old male was walking along Von Guerard Crescent with his German Shepherd when approached by two men. The men demanded the victim hand over personal property.

One of the men then approached the victim in an aggressive manner when the German Shepherd protecting the victim bit the male on the leg. A brief struggle took place before the victim and his dog managed to run from the area.

The two offenders were last seen running towards Ginninderra Drive.

The first male offender is described as Caucasian, 173cm in height, aged in his early 30s, skinny build with dark short spiky hair. At the time, the male was wearing white shorts and shirt.

The second offender is of Islander appearance, solid build, 183cm in height and believed to be aged in his early 20s. The offender was wearing a grey hooded top with the hood over his head and dark grey tracksuit pants.

Police are urging anyone who observed the attempted aggravated robbery, or people matching the description in the vicinity of Von Guerard Crescent to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.

NOW,,if it was my pitbull,,that bit an attacker,,,,,would we all have the same opinion???

Probably.

You chose your dog knowing the breed has a bad name due to its popularity with imbeciles who want a “tough” dog. No point having a chip on your shoulder about it now.

The dog should get a hero’s award, hope the dog took a huge chunk out of his leg ha ha ha

A wonderful Christmas ‘feel-good’ tail

Beautiful, just beautiful! I wasn’t expecting a Christmas pressy this early!

p.s. boo boo – Laughed at “dogs go wacco for smackos”

Thumbs up for the doggy… let’s just hope nothing ‘happens’ to it after biting a person…

okay, a dog bite. too much beer, I’m sorry.

Hahahah, the victim is described as being caucasion, stupid and with a dog bit to the leg…..

😀 I hope the doggy got a nice juicy chunk!

This is animal cruelty at its worst.

Let the poor animal finish his meal!

Dog bites can really get some nasty bugs into the wound…

Maybe the Canberra Hospital ED should keep an eye out for dog bite victims…

Late contenders for idiot of the year.

How pleased would you be as the dog’s owner?

Just proves that dogs really do go wacco with smackos.

An extra packet of “Doggy Treats” under the Christmas tree for dog is in order I reckon. Hope the dog bit turns septic.

Nice work! What’s the bet these fools won’t learn from the experience? Hope the dog and his owner are OK

Good doggy!

Much mirth in the office over this! Morons. Darwin candidates? If only all crooks were so dumb, the clean-up rate would be a lot better.

Give the dog a medal! or a big feed!

Excellent work – I only hope that the poor old german shepherd didn’t pick up anything nasty from the bite…
