Ohio Girl, 12, Saved When Her Dog Attacks Man Chasing Her

Columbiana County Sheriff's Office Truck Following Girl

A 12-year-old girl from Ohio was saved by her family's dog when a man chased after her.

The girl was followed on Saturday by a man in a 1970's model Ford pick-up truck who then got out of the car to chase her, according to a police report obtained by WKBN.

She then ran up the driveway to her dad's house, where her family dog went on defense and knocked the pick-up driver to the ground, according to the police report. The report also said the dog "got him pretty good."
