The Morellato family are formerly from Sydney Mines, Cape Breton and now make their home in Springbrook, Alberta, just southwest of Red Deer. Another member of their family is their dog "Demon", a Rottweiler named after the Dodge Dart (aka Dodge Demon).

On September 12th, the Morellatos thanked Demon for his heroism, on Facebook. They said that he had successfully defended their home from a would-be burglar who tried to gain entry through a window.

The burglar apparently was unaware of Demon waiting inside. Based on the amount of blood at the scene, they were likely badly injured from the bites. Fortunately, Demon was unharmed during the encounter.

Although the Blackfalds, Alberta RCMP are currently investigating, they have not located the person at this time, and the investigation continues.

In the meantime, the Morellato's friend and protector has gone viral in social media. At the time of writing, the story of Demon's defense of his home has been shared more than 59,500 times and is quickly approaching 20,000 comments.

The Morellato's have never experienced an attempt to break into their home before and say they are considering the option of returning to Cape Breton.

I don't like the breed but he sure deserves a high five. I am surprised the intruder got away with his life, betcha he won't bother this house again.
