Heroic Moment German Shepherd ‘Panzer’ protects South Florida boy from dog attacks on his front yard

This is the moment when a heroic German shepherd protects his young owner after the neighbor’s dog broke free and charged at the boy.

The frightening incident happened on Nov. 8 when the six-year-old boy was playing outside in his front yard with his dog, Tank, at his South Florida home.

According to the boy’s father, the neighbor’s dog broke free and came running and charged at his son.

Family pet Tank, a year-old German shepherd, sensed the little guy was in danger and stepped in to protect his best friend.

In one video, Tank’s guard instincts are in full swing as he shoves the boy out of harm’s way and then stands over the boy to protect him before confronting the other dog.

The little boy tearfully runs towards his mother while the father rushes to the scene to stop the dog banter. After the two dogs bark, growl and charge at each other, the neighbor’s dog finally runs home.

The boy’s father posted the video showing what a “good boy” tank is. He also shares that their second dog, a blue-nosed pit bull, also ran out of their garage to find backup, but he said, “Tank had him under control.”

“Our son was fine and the other dog was taken home by his owner,” the father said.

Since the video went viral, many dog ​​lovers have applauded Tank for his exploits.

“Bring that German shepherd a big dog bone, a steak or anything, he wants him to deserve a treat.” Good boy!!!!” one person wrote.

Another person added: “That’s a great dog! Thank God the child was not hurt, a horrible moment for this mother! If you can’t control your dog, keep him on a leash, folks!’
