I interrupt this day of all things political to bring you this bizarre and hilarious story about dogs who couldn’t stop calling 911.
It must have been a “ruff” morning for a duo of dogs in Lakeville, Minnesota that called 911 more than a dozen times while their owners were gone, prompting police to respond to their home.
They called more than a dozen times! So naturally, the police responded.
“We were dispatched to a 911 hang up call at a residence in Lakeville,” said Officer Michelle Roberts of the Lakeville Police Department.
“It was just kind of weird usually people come to the door, seeing two dogs go hyper is not something I see all the time,” said Officer Bares.
The officers rang the doorbell, walked around the house and were about to clear the call when they learned these pups had been hounding dispatch.
“Shortly after clearing, dispatch advised us they had multiple additional 911 calls and all they could hear in the background was dogs barking,” said Officer Roberts.
HAHAHA OMG. What in the world!
Apparently, the pups ended up calling 911 16 times. Police eventually contacted the owner and were able to get into the home to address the issue.
“Went upstairs to his office to where the cell phone was, it was on his desk, it was on emergency call only, so in theory a dog could’ve called 911, and pushed the phone with its paw,” she said.
Remy and Bomber had apparently taken matters into their own paws.
“Our assumption is the dogs were having a rough day and it was the dogs that were seeking assistance through 911,” she said.
Duh. That’s obviously what happened. They probably had a treat-related emergency.
“Anytime we can laugh and talk about dogs calling 911, if that’s the biggest news of our day that’s a good day,” Officer Roberts said.
I’d say!
