Tracey McCoy, like any responsible person, wants to keep her home and her family safe. And fortunately, her Great Dane is in agreement with the goal of protecting the family. The dog has been hailed as a hero after running off a home invader. The home's security camera got the whole thing on video.

On a Monday afternoon, in broad daylight, a stranger entered McCoy's home in Oklahoma. The man walked right through the glass door, even pausing to close the door behind himself. The intruder was met almost immediately by Dubai, McCoy's Great Dane, reports KFOR News.

Dubai trotted up to the newcomer, looking curious and friendly. The dog even allowed the man to pet him as they stood near the doorway. Both dog and man seemed interested in getting along.

McCoy was home with her younger son at the time. Hearing the door open, she thought her older son had come in. She walked into the kitchen, and instead of seeing a family member, she found herself facing a stranger, KFOR News continues.

McCoy screamed, and Dubai responded immediately. No matter how interesting the stranger had seemed, the dog was most attentive to his own family. When McCoy reacted to the burglar, Dubai instantly realized that the man was not welcome.

Dubai chased the man right back to the door, barking the whole way. As the burglar hastily tried to leave, he struggled to open the door. Dubai continued barking while lunging at the man's face and threatening to bite him.

At 122 pounds, Dubai is a big dog. While standing on all fours, Dubai was waist-high to the intruder; standing on his hind legs, Dubai was easily able to reach the burglar's face, as can be seen in the video.

Dubai sent the intruder scurrying, and the man was quickly apprehended by police. The next time McCoy saw him, she was able to positively identify him. The man was arrested and charged with burglary, KFOR News concludes. Dubai had protected his family and saved the day.

Even though Dubai's weight puts him on the smaller side for a male Great Dane, Dubai is more than big enough to take his job as home-protector seriously. McCoy and her family are grateful to have a heroic dog who kept them safe from an intruder. What are your thoughts on Dubai's instant reaction?
