‘That is horrifying’: Woman is nearly robbed of her vehicle at a gas station, but her loyal pup steps up to scare the thief away

People can be scary, but not as scary as a dog willing and ready to defend their owner.

If you are a woman, you have likely experienced circumstances that leave you anxious and on guard, fearing that someone may try to take advantage of the fact that you are a female by yourself.

Going to a nearly deserted gas station at night can be one of those situations. Surveying your surroundings to ensure you’re not caught by surprise by someone approaching you, you may feel compelled to hurry as much as you can in order to be back inside the locked safety of your vehicle. While you’re alone pumping gas, you can often feel like you would be perceived as a sitting duck by someone with nefarious intentions.

Lil, who goes by quinnsk9servicesllc on TikTok, is a skilled dog trainer who visibly adores her occupation. Although she often shares videos of herself training different dogs, she also has her own pets. Viision is a 19-month-old Mastiff who Lil has trained to be her Personal Protection Dog (PPD). But don’t be fooled into thinking Viision is merely a four-legged bodyguard. He is also Lil’s unconditional friend who, in her own words, “saved [her] in ways [she] didn’t know [she] needed saving.”

While some of the ways Viision may have saved her must have been on a psychological level – as dogs can have undeniably beneficial effects on one’s mental health – Lil also shared a video on July 27 showcasing how her staunch Mastiff effectively dissuaded a man from robbing her.

Back off or face Viision’s protective wrath

This is the second time this has happened to me in Gainesville. My GSD is now retired from protection work & I have been training my puppy (in this video) for the last year now in professional protection services. The homeless population here is (sadly) honestly insane and I often get cat called by belligerent men, day & night, so I can’t say I’m shocked that this happened but I haven’t had it go this far again in a while. As an individual, a lot has to happen for me to get nervous. But when he said that he needed my vehicle is when I really started to panic. There’s something not right in an individuals head if they continue to show this behavior with a dog like Viision with such a huge presence. Whether that be alcohol, drugs or some sort of mental impairment. I had been making a few funny/trendy TikToks with Viision while I pumped gas & I saw him banging on the window of another vehicle, so we were getting ready to put the gas pump up & leave, when he started asking me for money next, then my van. I always keep my door open with Viision in my seat when I’m pumping gas or right next to me. I’m extremely glad this deescalated because Vii is not even 2 yet & the last thing he needs as a baby mastiff is a live bite when he isn’t a finished dog. He really proved himself tonight regardless and I have never felt more thankful to have this dog by my side. I trust full heartedly that Viision would of performed, had the man made physcial contact with me. It’s insane that we live in a world where so many individuals live in fear because of shit like this. This is why I invested in such a high caliber dog and professional personal protection training for him. Thank god he was enough of a deterrent last night. You will not catch me being a statistic. #personalprotectiondog #protectiondog #bandog #bandogge #ppd #foryou #girls #bigdogs #fypシ゚viral #women #floridacheck #be #viisionraiiv #ihadaviision

Although the video speaks for itself, Lil wrote a lengthy caption expanding on the situation’s context. The dog trainer explained that this was not the first time she had felt threatened by a random belligerent man. In the comments, Lil engaged with netizens, even adding: “I can’t wait to leave this city. My car was literally stolen last year too, and never found. I’ve been held up so many times just trying to exist here. 🥲”

The TikTok starts with another example of Lil being harassed and threatened, wherein she was out with her German Shepherd, a year prior to the more recent incident. She always begins the undesired confrontation by trying to reason with the men, however, these individuals do not seem the type that can be reasoned with. So, during the gas station incident, Viision has to be the one to give the man extra incentive to back off and leave his owner alone.

“The way your pup listened to ‘off’, when you said it accidentally, is *chef kiss* what an amazing dog and owner.” Wrote one commenter, to which Lil replied, “Thank you! He’s a really great boy. I’ve put countless hours of training into him, plus he was sourced from a reputable breeder specifically for protection purposes. 🙏”

Dogs are humans’ best friends for, not one, but countless reasons. Lil responded to a TikTok user who praised her posture in the video, saying that Viision is the best thing that happened to her. This is not hard to believe. Lil has shared on TikTok numerous videos that prove Viision is the most loyal of good boys, unfailingly there for her through the good, the bad, and the ugly.
