Sassy bit the suspect on the ankle, giving McKelvie a chance to get away. The suspect then fled.
Mom Jennifer Jones expressed relief that that Sassy was with her daughter.
“[Sassy] is the big baby of our family, but very protective of our girls,” said Jones. “I’m very thankful she had our dog with her.”
Georgia police are looking for the suspect and is asking anyone with information to call 911.
