Bobo sends us a link from Houston, Texas where a citizen with a concealed weapon used his phone instead of his gun to get a burglar arrested. He witnessed a fellow breaking in to a home, so he called the police. The cops told him to stand down and wait for them to get there. When they arrived, they had their own trick up their sleeve;
The suspect gave up without a fight, in part because he thought police had a trained dog with them.
“One of the officers told (the suspect) he had a K-9 with him,” Azcuy said. “So, (one of the officers) started barking like a dog and the guy hit the ground. He laid down. They handcuffed him and brought him out.”
[Officer Orus Baldwin of the Houston Police Department] credits his partner for that action.
“It wasn’t me,” Baldwin said. “My partner can pretty well sound like a pretty bad dog. But, anyway, it fooled (the suspect).”

Gigglesnort! (Spew alert was needed!)
Good thing I emptied my cup of tea before reading that.
That’s some stuff straight out of the movie Police Academy.
Yep…..

Bet that poor cop will find biscuits and a bowl of Gravy Train at his locker for the next two weeks.
Probably. And I’ll bet laughs about it – and he gets treated to a few adult libations after shift by some of his buddies on the force, too.
Great stuff!
Imagine what life in jail will be like for the goblin once word gets out that he surrendered to a fake dog!
Something similar happened in my old hometown. But, the dude was stoned and the cop that said he’s send in the dog (dude was hiding in blackberry vines) was the same that was doing the barking.
“Woof Woof” is an interesting new concept for me. I have been using “Rustle Rustle” successfully for years.
Cute, but still doesn’t hold a candle to another Texas police department’s ingenious use of “animal” support.

Sigh, let me correct myself: A Texas Sheriff’s Office’s ingenious use…
“Woof, woof, woof, woof! That’s my other dog imitation.”
(Honestly, I can’t believe no one had said it yet. I’m disappointed in you knuckleheads)
Too many negative waves, baby.
Okay…That makes my night! lmao!
I regularly and frequently enjoy baying at the full moon.
But, that’s not unusual.
I think it’s a “guy” thing, because I’ve never seen gals do it.
Gals just giggle at us guys when we do it.
On various occasions, I’ve also imitated puppy sounds, canine distress sounds, and barking, just to elicit and observe reactions from dogs in the area.
It’s kind of fun.
Try it – – – , you’ll like it.
I also enjoy imitating other critters.
When I was a boy, I’d perfectly imitate quail, but now that my front teeth are missing, I no longer can whistle, “Bob White”, or anything else.
When singing, I have to hum the parts where I used to whistle, such as, “MOON RIVER, “RAWHIDE”, and, “WASHINGTON SQUARE”.
