A pit bull was apparently shot while defending its owner from a home invasion. The story is also just odd:

The owner of a pit bull who was shot to death by armed intruders said the dog died a hero.

“The dog saved my mom’s life,” the victim’s daughter said Wednesday from her home on Pacific Place in North Kelso.

She declined to speak further, saying the family was shaken by the events of late Tuesday night, when two or three men masked with bandannas and armed with a shotgun tried to push past her mother and enter their home.

Kelso police Capt. Vern Thompson said that after the intruders fled, officers arrived and found a large homemade bomb under the front wheel of a car parked in front of the house.
