    Dog saves dog in Australian shark attack
    Thu Mar 27,11:05 AM ET

    PERTH, Australia (AFP) - A dog saved its kennel mate from a shark attack at a beach in Broome, the pearling port in Western Australia's far north, police said.

    A shark more than two metres (6.5 ft) long attacked the first dog at Gantheaume Point, a spokesman said on Thursday.

    He said a man walking along the beach with his fiance saw a shark drag one of their dogs -- swimming at the time -- under the murky water.

    Their other dog, on the shore when the shark struck, raced into the water and attacked.

    Both dogs emerged unscathed from the surf, police said.

    Experts say many sharks roam the Indian Ocean near Broome, but attacks on people or domestic animals swimming at beaches are rare.

    I just remeber my mom had this little cocker spaniel, that was very protective, one time it layed into a wolf/german sheppard. Because, it was getting "too close" to my mom. well in the end that wolf was running away from my moms little kick dog. I just think dogs are underestimated when they go into protect mode.
