Robbers shot a dog after they broke into a home in Des Moines, Washington. The dog survived the shooting and managed to distract the robbers from a 16-year-old hiding in a closet.

The 2-year-old German Shepherd, Rex, ran downstairs when he heard the robbers. They beat him until he was bloody, and then he ran back upstairs to the closet where the boy was hiding, Kiro 7 reported.
