Sharon Dooling’s two dogs, Carly, a Chihuahua, and Silas, a Newfoundland, were playing in her backyard one Saturday night. That’s how the pups vs. dognappers story beings.

The dogs had only been outside a few moments when Sharon heard Carly barking like mad. She opened the door, expecting to find the pup barking at nothing, but then she saw something very disturbing.

She saw a stranger dragging Silas out of the yard. Like Carly, Sharon went into protective mode. She asked the man what he was doing. He brazenly replied that he was taking his dog. Sharon’s response is the kind of response that would make people stand up and cheer.

“You never know what you’re going to do in a situation. A lot of people say I would have done this or I would have done that, but you don’t really know what you’re going to do in a particular situation until it actually happens.”

Sharon immediately grabbed Carly and ran after the man, shouting for help. Thankfully, her brave little Chihuahua wasn’t about to let her best friend be taken without a fight. Carly bit the man’s ankle, causing him to drop Silas and run off. Thanks to Carly’s quick thinking and courageous actions, Silas was safe and sound back in Sharon’s arms.

The terrifying experience left Sharon shaken but grateful for Carly’s loyalty and bravery. She couldn’t believe that her tiny Chihuahua had stood up to a dognapper and saved Silas. The bond between the two dogs was stronger than ever, and Sharon knew she had a true hero in Carly.

The story of Carly and Silas quickly spread through the neighborhood, with many praising Carly for her courage and quick thinking. Sharon was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and gratitude from her community. She knew she had a special dog in Carly.

After the incident, Sharon made sure to take extra precautions to keep her dogs safe. She installed security cameras around her property and made sure her dogs were never left unattended outside. She was determined to never let a dognapper come near her beloved pets again.

Carly’s heroic actions not only saved Silas but also served as a reminder of the incredible bond between humans and their pets. The loyalty, bravery, and love that dogs show their owners are truly remarkable. Sharon was grateful every day for Carly and Silas, knowing that they were not just pets but cherished members of her family.

In the end, Carly’s quick thinking and bravery saved the day. The little Chihuahua may be small in size, but she had a heart full of courage and love for her best friend. Sharon knew she was truly blessed to have such a special dog in her life.
