Fort Worth Police Department released footage that clearly shows an attempt to reach the cash register, at the time of the robbery, the employee’s dog was trying to stop the criminal.

The Dog tried to defend his owner but was shot and died by the suspect. After that, the Guy points the gun to the employee to open the cash counter and takes a key from the employee’s bag. Detective Brian Raynsford, a 12-year veteran of the FWPD’s robbery investigation unit, said that he had never seen this type of criminal activity before in his career.

The dog owner Jaci Anderson said to KXAS-TV that she had owned her dog “Peanut” for the last twelve years. Further, Anderson said to NBC, “Everybody says I am lucky to have my life, but he pretty much stole it from me right then,”

“My baby girl was my best friend, and that store that I can longer step foot in after practically living there for nine years was my life. All those people I saw every day that I can no longer speak to because I don’t want to relive it.”
