An injured 86-year-old man sits in a hospital bed. His dog happily pants, tongue out, while sitting next to him. The man pets the dog.

Last year, Ned Tarmey rescued a dog, naming him Kane. Now, a mere year later, that same dog got the chance to save his owner’s life. The events are truly shocking. One day, 86-year-old Ned took notice of the fact that his dog was starting to get a bit fussy. Ned thought this meant he wanted to go outside, so he gathered his things to do just that. But as soon as Ned opened his front door, he was met by someone unexpected.

His neighbor, Jeff Tarmey, was standing outside. He was completely naked. But this is something Ned barely had the time to comprehend because, in an instant, he was hit by a brick. Jeff continued to throw rocks, bricks, and lawn furniture at Ned, all while screaming that he was going to kill him. As you can imagine, these methods of attack were brutal for Ned. Thankfully, Kane quickly intervened. In fact, he was able to keep Jeff held down until police arrived.
