Ottawa County, Michigan – A man’s beloved dog bravely took on an armed stranger who broke into his home last week. The dog, a Rottweiler named Chief, suffered fatal injuries when 23-year-old Jason Varnado forced his way into a home in the 11800 block of New Holland Street, in Olive Township.
Varnado fatally stabbed Chief, who was defending his 68-year-old owner. The dog’s intervention allowed his owner to run to another room in the house and call 911. The police report reveals how Chief’s brave act saved his owner’s life:
“Chief came to the victim’s aid and engaged the suspect, allowing the victim time to retreat safely to a bedroom.”
As reported by WOOD News, Varnado is also accused of attacking his own grandmother on November 2.
Varnado was booked into the Ottawa County Jail on multiple charges, including first-degree home invasion, third-degree killing or torturing an animal and felonious assault. At his arraignment, the judge set bond at $250,000.

this SOB needs to rott in jail… no bond…. no slap on the wrist…. only hard time… no food or water… no soft bed…. and let the brothers as his cellies take care of him, and not in a good way…. make the SOB suffer….every day for the rest of his life … not to ever be out again… but we all know this is all wishful thinking… the dude’s probably out on a low bond already…. but if i was a judge…none of them MFers would ever get out…. REST EASY CHIEF…. U DADDY LOVED U SO MUCH…
Bless that special dog. We could all learn so much from dogs and their loyalty. I hope the worthless thug experiences the same painful outcome in his miserable life.
RIP in peace, sweet innocent furbaby….

This ugly, brain deranged scumbag requires instigation of the death penalty and nothing less!
I could not agree more Jennifer. This POS Human Filth does not deserve to exist among us. That beautiful Rotti “Chief” is a loyal protector and deserves a hero’s farewell. I am so upset by this story; that an innocent dog has lost his life because of a scumbag breaking in to steal property because he won’t get off his lazy arse and get a job. People like him utterly repulse me, and the sooner we get scumbag DNA off this planet, the better off we will all be. R.I.P. beautiful Chief – you are such a good boy.
Totally agree with you Margo. Poor Chief paid the ultimate price to protect his owner. Dogs are angels without wings. I hope this demonic ugly retard gets the same treatment as he did to Chief. Come on incarcerated animal lovers do your thing!
Margo is right!
Good boy Chief. RIP now
vile horrible human beings that should be in jsil and fed thumbtacks and coins Don’t let them be near an animal again
