A puppy has been hailed as a hero after he prevented criminals from breaking into their family home.
In a statement posted on Facebook, Mdzananda Animal Clinic
said ‘Trouble’, and his dog mom were both chasing the criminals away and running
after them when the puppy got injured.

injuries of a broken radius and ulner. As he is still young, he doesn't require
surgery - just a splint and bandage to re-align the bones which will grow back
in place,’’ said the animal clinic.
Mdzananda described ‘’Toruble’’ as a fearless little puppy
and a big hero in the community's hearts
According to the clinic, his splint bandage will stay on
for 2-3 weeks after which the veterinarians can determine how the leg has
healed and if anything else is required.
