But their three-legged Pitbull, Levi, wasn't going to see his humans get hurt and jumped onto the burglar after growling and barking at him. Stenzel told WISC:
Not more than a minute after that, the person fired on Levi right in the head.
By chance, the bullet grazed the dog’s head and lodged into hisleft shoulder. The intruder then ran off after shooting the dog without stealing anything.

And this isn’t Levi’s first brush with heroism.Levi lost his leg during a family hike in 2014. The dog apparently took a fall of the edge of a trail — shattering his leg.Cherry said that Levi’s action prevented her son, who was following close behind the dog, from falling off the trail himself.
