Dog Takes Bullet for Human, Ends up Homeless



Kiko was in the news in 2012, when he saved his human from a home invasion. Someone posing as a UPS delivery person tried to break into the home Kiko was living in on Stanton Island, New York. Kiko ended up shot in the head for his efforts, and against all odds, made a full recovery.That would have been a very good happy ending for Kiko and his story. However, Kiko’s human ended up on very hard times a couple of years ago, forcing him to surrender Kiko.

That’s when Mighty Mutts heard about Kiko and his story. They though that he deserved better, being a hero and all. In late 2014, Mighty Mutts took Kiko in and have been looking for a forever home for him since.“The first few weeks of adoption drives, it was obvious that Kiko was very confused, and just seemed to be looking for his owner,” Jill Haynes of Mighty Mutts said. “Initially we thought he was a little shut down, but after a bit of time we realized he was actually just completely deaf.”
