Apollo is being hailed by Calgary Police Service as a hero today !!!

Last night, well, early this morning at around 1:20AM, I was leaving the 7/11 and was accosted by two youths, 18 and 19 years old who tried to mug me.

Apollo was in the car with Twix and lept through the window. One of the youths, 19, had a machete, was wearing shorts, Apollo bit him 6 times, 2 crotch, 2 inner thigh, 2 buttocks and nearly ripped the bicep off of the other youth. I was uninjured. I threw a black coffee into the face of one of the two causing second and third degree burns to 90% of his face and neck, he will need reconstructive surgery – who says 7/11s coffee isn’t hot?

I want to be clear here, I was not injured and neither was my Hero, Apollo. The suspects were taken into custody, handcuffed and put into an ambulance under police guard. As Apollo is new to me, he has not been vaccinated against rabbies so they will need to have a series of rabbies shots which, for people, are very painful. Apollo will need bloodwork on Monday and a rabbies shot. The police officer was VERY clear that Apollo has been cleared of any wrong-doing.

The youths will be charged with aggrevated assault with a weapon with the intent to kill. It all happened so quickly that it’s sort of a blur. I will need to testify in court late this year or in 2027, which I will happily do.

I was alread glad that Apollo was adopted into our Pack and now, he’s my savior. I will care for him until the end of time, thank you Apollo, you brave boy. Twix was in the car, barking her head off but she’s too old to be jumping out of cars nowadays.

My new boyfriend was in the 7/11 using the washroom and came out thinking the boys needed assistance. Well, they did, but for different reasosn than Michael thought.

Thanks to CPS and EMS crews – EMS cleaned Apollos mouth with an antiseptic wipe (several) and got kisses as a reward. Too bad I didn’t think to take any pictures.

Dogs are the best – we really do not deserve them.
