A veterinary surgeon says the dog is lucky to be alive.

Aslan, a 5-year-old boxer mix, was shot three times early Wednesday when he went to his family's rescue during a
home invasion robbery in the Hollywood Hills.

The dog had to undergo emergency surgery and is lucky to be alive, said Stephen Bilbrey, a veterinary surgeon at the
Animal Specialty Group, an animal hospital in Los Angeles.

Bilbrey said the dog is expected to make a full recovery. Aslan is recuperating on a pile of blankets at the animal hospital
with an orange cast on one leg. "The owner did tell me that the dog alerted them that people were breaking into their home,
" Bilbrey said. "She felt the dog saved their lives."
