A hero helicopter pilot shot a crazed XL bully dead which savaged three people in the countryside.
Jon Earp landed his helicopter on a farm where he was called to the multiple attacks on three victims that were 'seriously injured' by the rampaging dog.
The chopper pilot was given a shotgun by a neighbouring farmer - and coolly shot the dog called Ricoh four times before anyone else was injured.
The dog was so ferocious it was completely unaffected by the first shot and needed four to be euthanised.
A judge commended Capt Earp, 52, for his courage after shooting the 18-month old XL Bully during the almost deadly attack on multiple people.
