Pit Bull Shot In The Head Trying To Protect Owner, But Miraculously\u00a0Survives<\/h1>\n

‘Kilo’ Didn’t Take Too Kindly To Gunman Pushing Into Staten Island Home <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em> NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)\u00a0\u2014 There\u2019s a dog that took a bullet, possibly saving his owner\u2019s life. And surprisingly, the 12-year-old pit bull shot in the head survived.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0pit bull\u00a0named \u201cKilo\u201d was off to the vet Wednesday for a check-up, after taking a bullet for his owner, Justin Becker.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a hero. He saved my life. He went to protect me and he did his job,\u201d Becker told CBS 2\u2032s John Slattery.<\/p>\n

Even Dr. Greg Panarello, the veterinarian who treated the dog, was impressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncredibly lucky. Incredibly lucky,\u201d Panarello said.<\/p>\n

It happened Saturday evening in Becker\u2019s apartment house in the Graniteville section of Staten Island. A gunman, posing as a FedEx deliveryman, wearing a uniform, rang the bell and said he had a package, but then pushed his way into the apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe barged in. My first reaction after seeing the gun is push him out, so I pushed him to the door. Like I said, he fell like wedged right by the door. I slammed him inside the door and he was stuck and tried to get out now because he was getting crushed,\u201d Becker said.<\/p>\n

His girlfriend has been holding\u00a0the dog and let go<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was shocked and I was terrified,\u201d Nicole Percoco said.<\/p>\n

The dog went after the gunman.<\/p>\n
