A year-old German shepherd named Baron protected a La Mirada liquor store during a robbery. He lunged at the robber after the clerk was forced at gunpoint, took a bullet to the spine, and now lies paralyzed. Baron had been trained by Raymond Baker and guarded the counter with manager Robert Nelson. Nelson and Baron were both near the register when the crime occurred. The dog remains under veterinary care as doctors decide on possible surgery if paralysis persists.
