As Nancy and her dog walked along a street, a man on a scooter rode by and suddenly grabbed Nancy’s bag. The robber then fled the scene immediately. Nancy was so shocked that she froze up and couldn’t even scream. Nancy’s dog knew that she was in trouble, so he barked loudly and broke free from Nancy’s hand.
