Everyone knows dogs can be protective of their humans, but this pooch shocked everyone with his remarkable actions.
A dog who goes by Medo has lived on a street in Montenegro for about five years. He is more or less a community pet, with the entire street and all its residents showering him with love and affection, giving him treats and a nice place to stay.
Medo is a former stray who stands out with his sweet behavior and had never shown any signs of aggression. Recently, however, he proved that he can indeed be aggressive if one of his friends is threatened.
About a week ago, one of the women who live on Medo’s street was going home from the market when she was attacked.
The unknown man who approached her was wearing a yellow jacket. As Medo watched from nearby, the man attached the neighbor from behind, then knocked her down to the ground.
Medo did not stand for this attack on one of his favorite people, he bit the man and then chased him away. We regularly hear stories of people’s dogs protecting them against intruders or attackers, but these anecdotes rarely involve former strays who have multiple humans taking care of them.
We can all take the time to appreciate Medo’s brave actions, since they were recorded by a neighbor’s security camera.
Vladan Pavicevic always has his security camera on, and he told the Dodo that the entire incident was captured there. He actually shared the video with the Montenegro community Facebook page, Podgoricki vremeplov.
Pavicevic showed the video to the woman who was attacked the following day:
“While she was watching the video the next day she said, ‘Medo saved me. God Medo saved me!’”
If you take the time to watch the video yourself, you will certainly be in agreement.
At only 22 seconds long, this short clip is certainly worth your time.
In the video, we see Medo sitting in the middle of the street with a woman calmly walking down the block carrying a bag from the market. The stranger in the bright yellow jacket is walking quickly and then veers in the direction of the woman.
As he gets within a few feet of the woman, it is clear that Medo wants to investigate. He gets up and sniffs the man as he walks, trying to get a feel for him. Then, after glancing in the other direction, Medo turns back to watch his human friend and the stranger.
The instant we see the man turn towards the woman with aggression and attack her, Medo goes running toward him, ready to scare him away.
The stranger only manages to push the woman down before Medo chases him away, going at least several yards and trying repeatedly to bite the man again. Once Medo is sure the man is leaving and won’t come back, he turned around and starts to return to the woman.
Medo certainly saved the day since no one knows what the attacker’s intentions were.
The woman only ended up with a few bruises. Medo also got a handsome reward. According to Pavicevic:
“On that day, Medo got a royal lunch from her.”
The entire community feels “blessed to have Medo and to have such an awesome neighborhood.”
Medo may not live the life of a traditional pet, but he is certainly happy.
As Pavicevic told the Dodo:
“He has a place to live in three houses on the street, and more than 15 yards of neighbors. He has the freedom to choose how much time he will be in the house, in the yard, or on the street.”
