Desperate problems require desperate solutions, so the saying goes. And it seems that Cape May’s Police Department (CMPD) has taken this saying too seriously. With their job to curb the crime in their community, they widened their nets to capture even non-human violators — dogs.
Indeed, no one is above the law, even dogs (no matter how adorable they are). The department’s latest’ non-human catch’ was a mischievous runaway dog who was reportedly sneaking in various yards in their community. Now, it was up to one of CMPD’s officers to teach this dog some ‘lessons.’
Patrolman Micheal LeSage immediately drove to the reported mischievous dog’s location, and indeed, she was found ‘trespassing’ in a family’s backyard. LeSage wasted no time and ‘apprehended’ the dog and asked her to jump over his police car. But since the dog has short legs, the officer offered his help to lift her up.
The dog obviously looked healthy and not neglected; that is why this trespassing dog surely has an owner. And to quickly find the dog’s owner, the CPMD had thought of a great idea. The officers took a ‘mugshot’ of the runaway dog, posted her ‘pugshot’ on their Facebook page, and asked if anyone knew the dog’s owner. The lady dog was even captured spending the night in one of the cells of the station, and she looked pretty relaxed (rather than scared) being in an actual cell.
The dog was taken cared of by the officers while they were waiting for any leads about her true owner. And fortunately, because of their amusing posts, the dog’s owner has finally come forward.
And aside from this good news, another great came out from this situation: their humor-filled posts became instant viral! It was well-received by a lot of people who appreciated CMPD’s humor.
According to the officers, they didn’t expect that their post would go viral, but they were happy that a lot of people loved it.
On the other hand, the runaway dog’s owner, Hadley Hubbard, expressed his heartfelt thanks to the CMPD for taking care of his dog while she was on a misadventure.
