A loyal dog jumped into action to save his owner's life during a violent encounter in New Hampshire earlier this week.

An 86-year-old man is recovering at the hospital after police say his neighbor attacked him outside of his Manchester home, threatening to kill him. Family members say his life was saved by the actions of his dog.

“He was throwing patio furniture, hitting with chairs, bricks, and rocks,” Brittney Ardizzoni, the victim’s great-nice said.

Police said Donald Pierce, 55, surprised and then assaulted Ned Tarmey early Sunday morning when Tarmey let his dog out the back door of his house on Pine Avenue.

“There was man standing there and basically just said he was there to kill him,” Ardizzoni said.

Tarmey’s family said as Pierce attacked Tarmey the family dog, Kane, pounced on him, holding Pierce down until police got to the scene.

He had no clothes on, so I’m guessing that whatever Kane did was, you know, probably not comfortable,” Ardizzoni said.

Well now these two stories have canceled each other out and we're back to square one.

The conclusion is that dogs are good and naked people are complex and nuanced and varied, just like clothed people.

I will have you know that both of my dogs are very naughty and I tell them that regularly. Usually right before giving them treats or rubbing their bellies.

I also let them know that they don't deserve it because of how naughty they are.

But what do we know about nude dogs?

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

We still need a story about 1 naked hero vs 2 naked perps.

Wait for some shit to go down at Playalinda. Even better, they'll all be Florida People.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

There's good stories about dogs every day and they're pretty much always naked.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

There's also bad stories about dogs everyday, you just proved the point!

[-] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Next story is the same dog attacking a child.

What breed was the dog? From the thumbnail it looks like a pit bull mix. I can't help but notice that when there's a negative story about a dog, and it's a pitbull/mix, the media is quick to mention the breed, but when it's a positive story, the breed is omitted.

[-] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

And whenever it's a negative story about a dog that isn't a pit bull, they'll probably call it one anyway tbh.

It’s a bully of some stripe.
I don’t know if the NBC article has media in it for me that won’t load or what, but there’s a content box that just… won’t show anything. Likely it’s my ad-blockers. I don’t know if that portrays the same video I link below.

This article has a video of them interacting in a hospital room (and it will load for me):

"Chopper - sicc balls"

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I can't wait for the update that tells us what drugs the naked man was on. Or off, depending on what exactly is wrong with him.

[-] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

When I just visited that link it didn't say anything about the dog holding him down, but it did say the dog was injured :(

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Release the body cam video!

Naked all of Monday, naked all year long

Naked is never right, naked is always wrong

So get the hell away from me

You god damn naked man

Go the fuck away from me

Back to naked land

If you have to disparage naked people (and there's no good reason why you should), at least go with the PJ Harvey banger on the subject..

Where could ~~I find~~ this 'naked land' be found? Google maps coordinates? Asking for a friend.
