A World War II veteran faced off with an intruder to his home. But not only did the 95-year-old came out on top, but his 51-year-old daughter successfully chased the burglar down.

Fred Bennett, retired Marine and retired firefighter, was sitting in his living room in West Allis, Wisconsin, at about 7:45 p.m., Dec. 4, watching TV.

Suddenly, his chihuahua Hugo started barking toward the hallway. Bennett stood up and walked toward the bedroom door. He opened the door, but it wouldn’t open all the way, TMJ4 reported. He leaned in and saw a man “standing flat against the wall.”

“I was almost standing nose to nose with him,” Bennett told Journal Sentinel. ”That was a shocker.”
