KIRKLAND, Wash. - A car-jacking suspect messed with the wrong vehicle Friday night in a Kirkland parking lot.
A pit bull rescued earlier from an illegal dog-fighting ring was sitting inside in the car - and that dog wasn't taking any more passengers.
The dog's foster mom, Amber Melena, explains what happened.
She says Victor the pit bull was due to be put down a few months ago after he and more than 20 other dogs were found living in horrific conditions - beaten, forced to fight and chained inside filthy kennels.
But a dedicated rescue group believed this dog could be saved and - after months of rehabilitation - placed him with Amber and her family.
On Friday night, Victor had a chance to return the favor in a grocery parking lot.
Amber says she stopped by the store on a routine shopping trip and brought 3-year-old Victor along for the ride.
"I opened the door like this and put the groceries in," she says.
"I was just reaching for my seatbelt, and right as I was turning to click it in, this door flew open. And he was just standing right there."
Amber found herself face-to-face with a possible car-jacker. The man spooked Victor, too - but the dog was quick to act.
"He turns around and lets out just this gigantic woof," says Amber. "And this man throws himself backwards, trips on himself and falls down."
Police later arrested the man. And thanks to Victor, Amber wasn't hurt.
She says Victor still bears the battle scars from being routinely beaten and forced to fight before he was saved last October from a dog-fighting ring in Graham.
"He's got tears inside his ears; his biggest one is the lip. This lip is supposed to be attached, not kind of poking out," Amber says.
Bullseye Dog Rescue and other shelter workers put the dogs through months of rehabilitation. Ultimately, most had to be put down.
"They didn't make it. They had some various behavioral problems ... because of the victims that they were, the cruelty they endured," says Lorrie Kalmbach of Bullseye Dog Rescue.
Victor was the exception - and Amber says he proved himself exceptional against the car-jacker.
She'd keep him if she could, but for now has agreed to be his foster mom until he can be placed.
"Bullseye has given him a second chance. I think he might have given me a second chance. He's definitely my hero," she says.
Victor and two other pit bulls named Hope and Phoenix have gone through months of rehabilitation and are ready and willing to be adopted into a good home.

A HORRIFIC TRAGEDY THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED!
PENSACOLA - A Marine flight student at NAS Pensacola is accused of strangling his girlfriend's dog.
Twenty-four-year-old Jaimie Maldonado is out of jail on bond, facing a third-degree felony for the death of a 2-year-old Basset Hound.
The Northwoods Apartment complex is very pet-friendly. They have a path for walking your animal, even trash bags and a trash can for cleaning up after them.
Deputies say one of the animals that lived here was found strangled to death inside a dumpster.
Linda Gray/Lives Near Crime Scene: "They could take them to a shelter or somewhere, where they could be taken care of, not choke the poor things."
Lawrence Gamell Jr./Lives Near Crime Scene: "I'd seen the little dog before, it's a terrible thing. Shouldn't happen here at all."
Marine 2nd Lieutenant Jaimie Maldonado arrived in Pensacola with the Marines in November, waiting to start flight school.
Laura Catterton/Dog Lover: "I was horrified to read that a man had strangled his girlfriend's dog to death."
Junior Humane Society volunteer Laura Catterton was reading arrest reports looking for animal abuse when she heard about Maldonado.
His girlfriend told investigators she was out of town when he called her early one morning, drunk, and saying he strangled her 2-year-old Basset Hound because it got feisty.
Catterton: "My dogs get feisty, and I would never ever strangle them to death."
The girlfriend also said a few weeks prior, Maldonado had thrown the dog against a wall so hard it had to go to the vet for stitches.
Gray: "I'm a firm believer in paying for what you do."
Gamell: "You reap what you sow."
Maldonado faces up to 5 years in prison and up to a $5,000 fine.

In this video report, CNN's Emily Chang goes to a dog and cat meat market in Guanghzhou, China. There, dogs and cats are kept in cages and sold to restaurants and street vendors that specialize in things like cat stew and frozen dog leg. The Chinese government has taken the first steps in banning the consumption of dog and cat meat, but this report says it may take a decade for actual changes to be implemented.

A family is in mourning after a confrontation between a mother and daughter went tragically wrong.
"What happened was, she came home high again, her daughter, she went to attack my wife, and her own dog attacked her Jade, and they had to shoot the dog because the dog wouldn't release her," said Thomas Fowler, the stepfather of 37-year-old Christine Staab, who died after being mauled by their pet pit-bull.
Fowler says the pit named Jade was doing what comes naturally to a dog; she was protecting his wife, who was trying to take the keys to their home on East Oxford Street in Fishtown away from his drug addicted stepdaughter. According to Fowler, Staab lived at the home when she wasn't in rehab or jail.
"She swung around, knocking a mirror over and a lamp on her daughter, and the dog reacted to it and unfortunately it ended the way it did," Fowler said.
Fowler says the family owns six pit-bulls, all of whom he says were friendly, nonaggressive pets.
Police shot two, Jade and Jade's offspring, when police arrived at the scene after Fowler's wife frantically called for help because Jade had locked her powerful jaws around Christine's neck. http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=7288723A family is in mourning after a confrontation between a mother and daughter went... more

LAKE WORTH, Fla. (NBC) -- A Florida family's Golden Retriever is being called a canine hero, while the family's cat should probably be sent to the "dog house."
Bubba, the retriever, started barking when flames erupted inside the Lake Worth duplex just before midnight.
It started in the front portion of the home, where Saundra Frazer had fallen asleep.
Charles McCauley, who lives in the back of the home with his girlfriend, also heard the barking and came running into the front room where he saw Saundra trying to extinguish the flames with a blanket.
"When I walked out I smelled smoke, so I run to the other door and when I run to the other door the whole wall and her room was engulfed and she was trying to fight it," McCauley said.
McCauley said the fire kept growing so his next instinct was to get everybody out.
They escaped safely.
Bubba's loud barks are being credited with waking everyone up and getting them out of the burning house.
They believe if not for him they would have died in the fire.
The occupants believe the fire may have started when the family cat knocked over a burning candle.
The house was heavily damaged.
The American Red Cross is helping the three residents with temporary housing and food.

A New Zealand teenager faced legal action after he stole his own injured puppy from a clinic to save it from euthanasia when the family couldn't afford expensive surgery after it was hit by a car.
The story appears headed for a happy ending, however. The public rallied to the plight of Bronson Stewart and 5-month-old puppy Buck on Wednesday, raising money to save the dog by paying the bill, local media reported.
After Buck was hit by a car two weeks ago neither Stewart, 19, nor his father Kevin could afford the 2,500 New Zealand dollars ($1,730) for the puppy's broken leg to be pinned back together or the $555 (NZ$800) for the leg to be amputated.
The family, which lives on welfare in the North Island city of Wanganui, instead offered to pay the veterinary clinic $3.50 a week, but the clinic declined.
The veterinarian then refused to return the pup, saying it was best the little dog be euthanized because he was in agony.
"I just knew I had to get my dog back. He's like my brother," Stewart told TV One's "Closeup" program Wednesday. "They can't just kill him because I haven't got any money."
Stewart went to the veterinary clinic last Friday and asked to see Buck, grabbed the little dog and ran home.
