How Axel the Akita mix saved a great-great-grandma

Last year, a rescue dog named Axel saved a great-great-grandmother living in Manchester, England from a home invasion. Eighty-six-year-old Joyce Ackerly had rescued the shepherd-akita mix four years earlier, and clearly Axel knew where his loyalties lay: he literally “pounced” on the robber, bit him, and chased him down the street. Ackerly told the BBC that Axel was her “hero” and he had “saved my life.”
