Of course I'm on it  ..It was a little Rat Terrier with his nose sticking out a 2 in crack in the window..oh uh uh. I went inside and got the cop on duty (usually they won't do anything). While we were checking the dog out the owner comes out and jokingly says "watch it, he'll take your arm off". The cop was not amused and interupted him saying this was animal abuse and he could arrest him on the spot. The guy starts throwing names around of different cops that said it was legal. The cop said he could name all the names he wanted but it was against the law and another word he would be arrested if he didn't leave right then. So he left. Of course I was right there for the whole thing cause I wanted to be sure something was done. The cop turned to me and reminded me I saw the whole thing and that he didn't get out of line with the man. Do people really complain about things like that to superiors? Anywho, It really made me feel good that I actually found a policeman that cared about these things. It's already hot here in Texas and this won't be the first occurance at my work, but rest assured Gizmo's Mom is on the job.  |
You. Go. GIRL.
and that cop too - nice to hear a good cop story - I'm in texas too and just can't imagine ANY dog in ANY car in this heat
what a jerk that guy was for doing that ....and too bad the cop didn't at least write him a ticket - I think they should because that'll make these people
think next time they leave a poor defensless dog in a freakin oven to bake.
