At the end of January, a young man from the UK named Toby Carrier was attacked. But the perpetrators probably would have chosen a different victim if they had known more about Nelly, a Belgian sheepdog who has lived with Carrier for several years.

The perpetrators had their faces hidden. They began to behave aggressively towards Toby and then snatched the leash from the young man’s hands. It’s worth noting here that Nellie is an experienced sniffer dog. As soon as the mess started, she started barking loudly and even attacked the attackers.

Once the criminals realized the dog was serious, they retreated. According to Toby, he was surprised by this behavior from his pet. Nellie had never served in the armed forces. But she did take a training course from Denmead Drone Search and Rescue, a search and rescue organization.

In everyday life, the Belgian Shepherd is quite calm and even affectionate, he has never once tried to attack a human. But he is grateful to his dog, because it was because of its courage that the man remained unharmed.

Toby thought for a long time what to do, but eventually decided to report the incident to the police station. A criminal case has been opened in the case of the attack on the man, but so far the results of the investigation are not publicly available.
