A stray pit bull saves a woman and her two-old son from a man with a knife. The stray pit-bull was running around the park that the woman "Angela" and her two-old was playing in at Port Charlotte, Florida. The woman was getting ready to leave with her son when a man began to attack the mother and child with a knife. The sixty-five pound pit bull charged at the attacker and scared him off. Angela was so shaken she ran into her car with her son and to her surprise the pit-bull followed them and was seating in the backseat of the car. Angela named the pit-bull Angel and plans to adopt the dog if on one comes forward. She believes that Angel is her guardian angel.
