Dog saves owner during home invasion

A 22-year-old Coldwater man was taken to Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo after he was attacked by a dog after the man broke into a Tekonsha home.

Calhoun County Sheriff Department deputies said a 24-year-old resident of the home on Old 27 said the suspect, who is an acquaintance, entered his home through an unlocked kitchen window about 12:40 a.m. Sunday and assaulted him.

During the assault the victim's dog bit the suspect several time causing serious injuries.

The suspect fled but was located after seeking treatment at a hospital. He then was taken to the Kalamazoo treatment for reconstructive surgery.

The case remains under investigation and warrants will be sought.
