Another Dog & Police Story

[Len-2A Training]

You won't hear/read this in the snews.

Heard on the Patriot Ledger Scanner today:

MVA - car vs. dog

Police respond, black Lab dog is still alive, not currently licensed but has tags from 2010. PD tries to reach ACO (part-time in most small towns), but it is taking forever to hear back.

Officer puts dog in cruiser and takes the dog to a local vet. Vet finds no life-threatening injuries and officer waits patiently for ACO to advise who owns the dog, gets the info and drives the dog back to owner's home.

No report that he cited owner (town has leash law, plus dog is unlicensed).

Probably took him home and shot him in front of the owner for spite.

Glad the dog was ok.

That's not sensational enough and probably happens often and without fanfare. The nerve of that guy.

As a lab owner this story makes me happy.

That's kind of the point I've tried to make a couple times. We HEAR about the sensational, horrible events where some ahole officer shoots a family dog in front of a six year old kid and we collectively (and correctly) jump on him. Then the three 'good' cops on the force get offended because we're cop bashing and they KNOW there are other good cops out there.

Blame the selective media and human nature, not NES.

Glad the dog is fine and returned to the owner.

It would have been a little more fitting in the theme of NES if it was a lost cat, but even so!

I think cats fall under the jurisdiction of the fire department

it will be in the news tomorrow when the cop loses his badge for it

For rescuing cats in a tree, personally I prefer the method in "Police Academy"!

it will be in the news tomorrow when the cop loses his badge for it

No chance, last I knew his chief is a dog owner.

Nice the officer did the right thing. Thank you. JT

Id like to shake this officers hand and tell him "thank you" for being one of the good ones.
