INDIANAPOLIS – The magic of Christmas morning was seemingly ruined for an Indiana family last Wednesday after a man apparently tried to break into their garage — and stabbed the family dog in the process.

The Gray family, of the Indianapolis area, claims the man was on their property when their son took their dog, named Skee, outside to eat. But the suspect stabbed the pup in the neck — and her loved ones believe she might have been trying to stop the man.

Skee the dog was stabbed on Christmas morning after she tried shooing away a burglary suspect, according to her family.

They confronted the man in a nearby alley. The suspect told them the blood on Skee’s body wasn’t blood, but an iced slushie drink he threw at her, mother Chrystal Gray told WXIN.

“It is serious, it could have been life-threatening,” Gray said of the attack, adding the dog suffered a gaping wound — apparently four or five inches deep — on her neck.

The family tried to stop the dog’s bleeding with napkins and plastic wrap before they rushed her to an animal hospital. Skee was eventually taken to Indianapolis Animal Care Services for surgery, where veterinarians worked to close the gash.

Skee, who reportedly had a litter of puppies a few weeks ago, was recovering at home as of Sunday.

It was not immediately clear if the suspected burglar was arrested.
