Cute But Fierce: These Two Dogs Are 'Little Heroes' For Saving Their Owner From Sexual Assault!

You don't necessarily have to be big and strong to be brave, and if you think that's just a politically correct statement and doesn't mean anything in real life, you might want to read about these two little dogs.

A woman (name not revealed) in Australia was walking her little terrier Louie and shih tzu RuPaul in Williamstown cemetery like every night, when she was assaulted by a man from behind, around 8:30 pm a few days ago.

ABC News quotes the woman as saying, "I'd stopped to do something and wait for my dog to come back from chasing a rabbit and I got pushed from behind into the ground.¡± She continued, "It really just came out of nowhere ¡ª I didn't hear anyone behind me or around me."

The man tried to hold her in the mud and pull her pants down, the woman screamed all the while. "I started screaming pretty much straight away, like at the top of my lungs," she reportedly said. That¡¯s the dogs, two-year-old Louie, a terrier and one-year-old RuPaul, who is a rescue Shih Tzu, came running and attacked the man who was assaulting Kate. The man was seen running off towards Park Crescent or KC White Reserve.

"They viciously attacked him ¡ª like growling, biting ¡ª and I think with my screaming and the struggling it made him stop," ABC quotes her as saying. "It's amazing and I keep thinking about would have happened if they had run off or not ¡­ done anything. I think they saved me,¡± she continued.

Talking about her dogs she allegedly said, "You wouldn't know, but they are extremely protective and will probably bite your ankles." Right after the incident the victim ran to her home and reported the assault to police who immediately set up a crime scene at the cemetery and examined the area. The woman was so shaken by the ¡®disgusting¡¯ attack, that she could not go back to her place for days.

Jenna Sladek, Detective Senior Constable of the Westgate sexual offences and child abuse investigation team along with the victim addressed a press conference, appealing to the public to help find the person who assaulted her. The detective reportedly said, "We know people congregate at the cemetery at night so we are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the assault or may have been in the area at the time.¡±

Meanwhile the little dogs are being rightly hailed as ¡®little heroes.¡¯

Even the famous TV host and pop icon Human RuPaul approved his namesake by retweeting the incident and captioning it, ¡®THIS!¡¯
