(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi(original from Larkana))

A French woman's loyal German Shepherd dog saved her from committing suicide by knocking aside a rifle she tried to fire into her heart, local police said.

English language news website thelocal said the woman, 62, had fired several test shots then turned the gun on her chest.

"At the moment she pulled the trigger, her dog jumped on her and diverted the shot," a local police officer told AFP, adding that the dog "probably sensed things and knocked into her to save her."

The woman was found by her husband, conscious but suffering from a chest wound. She was taken to hospital but her injury is not considered life-threatening.

According to the police the dog was "deeply affected" by the actions of her owner.
