Dog stops Columbia carjacking

Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A dog took a bite out of crime to stop a would-be carjacker Thursday night, police say.

The 3-year-old Rottweiler-Doberman pinscher mix named Diablo bit the suspect after he opened the passenger door of a car stopped at a stoplight and grabbed the driver by the neck.

The woman, who asked The (Columbia) State not to identify her, said she had to pry the dog's jaws open to get him to let go.

The dog lost its four bottom teeth in the incident, but the woman said a veterinarian told her those were the dog's puppy teeth.

The carjacker has not been caught, Richland County sheriff's spokesman Joseph Pellicci said.

6. My Cat would have driven home at dinner time

Dogs can't drive cars Cat's figure out how to place something heavy on the accelerator and drive home at the same time.

9. What a great mix -- Rottie and Dobie.

That's one dog you don't want to antagonize. I have a Rottie and there is no better breed in my opinion.

10. That carjacker

must be either really stupid or blind. Judging by the breed mix that dog was probably pretty large.
