Canine crusader Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher saved a dog from being kidnapped.

The Oasis guitarist scared off a group of thieves who were trying to snatch a black Labrador - belonging to his neighbour, former Bond girl Caroline Munro - tied up outside a supermarket.

A source said: "Noel was so brave - the men could have been carrying knives but he just didn't care.

"He's a tough guy and he doesn't like people taking what isn't theirs so he tackled them and they quickly fled."

Caroline - who played pilot Naomi in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' - was quick to express her gratitude to Noel, 41, when she was reunited with her pet.

The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "The dog is the cutest little thing and wears a red neckerchief. Caroline takes him everywhere - even to the pub so she was ever so grateful for what Noel did. She would have been devastated to lose him."
