Dogs are called man’s best friend for a reason. They manage to prove their loyalty, dedication, and intelligence in situations where they are needed the most. A canine named Lucas demonstrated this by saving his owner from a brutal attack.

A couple of years ago officer Todd Frazier from Mississippi was attacked by three gang members in an ambush. The men dragged Frazier to the woods and threatened to kill him. Only a miracle could’ve saved him from these armed assailants. Fortunately, that miracle was inside of the policeman’s car. After Frazier managed to press the button to open the door of his car, the four-legged backup was released and Lucas sprinted to the rescue. “He knew. I could hear him coming. I couldn’t see anything because the blood was all in my eyes, but I could hear him coming, growling and making these sounds… he sounded like a wolf. I thought, ‘Now he’s gonna get you'” said Deputy Frazier. After brutal fight attackers had no other choice than to run for their lives.

The policeman sustained some minor injuries from the gang attack. Unfortunately, his savior was hurt too. Lucas suffered a torn ligament, some broken teeth, and road rash, but they both recovered well after receiving treatment. Deputy who owes his life to the dog couldn’t hide his gratitude. “He would put his life on the line for me. He is a deputy. I would die for him too.”

The Hancock County Sheriff’s Department rightfully rewarded Lucas with the ‘Hero of the Year’ award. It’s safe to say that Frazier has the best partner in the whole world!
