A robber fleeing cops tried to escape by running through property #NDPup Barry (Chow/Mastif) guarded. Barry chased him up 3 flights of fire escape & cornered him at the top. Perp climbed on the roof to escape his wrath. Barry then held off the cops too. Barry's great with kids. https://t.co/Vo8aHP3RkG
