A New York City woman said her boyfriend’s dog saved her from an attempted rape when she went for a walk in the park.
Maya Fairweather, 18, said she took her boyfriend’s pit bull, Apollo, for a walk in a Brooklyn park on Monday around 10 p.m., the New York Post reported. She let the dog off the leash to run for a bit, when she felt something pull on her headphones.
At first Fairweather thought it was her boyfriend, but when she turned around, she realized it was a complete stranger, who tried to shove her down to the ground and remove her pants.
“I fell down on my hands,” Fairweather said. “I just closed my eyes because they say that if you see their face, they will kill you. I froze. I was really scared.”
It was then that Apollo took charge of the situation and bit the attacker’s leg. The man’s shock gave Fairweather a chance to break free, Breitbart reported.
The attacker suddenly found himself being attacked. He struggled with the dog and finally ran away.
“I heard him say, ‘F***!’ and I was able to run away. I ran across the street,” Fairweather said.
“He was protective,” Fairweather said of the puppy. “I think it would’ve been a lot worse. I wouldn’t have been so lucky.”
“He is a sweet dog. I never thought he would bite anyone. He never bit anyone before. He’s usually very friendly and just jumps on everyone,” she added.
Fair-weather also said to her attacker: “I just hope he bit the s*** out of you.”
Fox News reported that authorities were still searching for the attacker.
Fairweather was immensely lucky that Apollo stepped in to save her from a dangerous attack. Her story serves as a warning for everyone to always be aware of his or her surroundings.
