OREM, Utah, - A Utah man said he panicked when he received a call from his house while he was at work but he soon discovered his dog had placed the call.
Bruce Gardner of Orem said he had only been at work for about 10 minutes around 9 a.m. Wednesday when he received a call from his home phone, The (Salt Lake City) Deseret News reported Friday.
"I knew nobody was home, so I answered it," he said. "I said, 'Hello,' and all I could hear in the background was all this rustling noise. I wasn't quite sure what it was.
"My mind immediately went to, 'I'm being robbed,'" Gardner said.
However, Gardner and police arrived at the house to find there were no burglars.
Gardner said it wasn't until later in the evening when he thought to dial his home number from his cellphone while standing in his back yard.
"I called it, and I could hear the ring. I started going toward the sound and found it out here in the garden," he said.
Gardner said he determined his dog, Maya, had found the phone, which he apparently left outside, chewed it up and buried it in the garden.
"She must have hit redial, and what I could hear was her playing with this phone and chewing the phone up," he said.
Gardner said he explained the situation to police and apologized.
That reminds of somehing that happened to a friend of mine.
She was on patrol in Milton when she got a call for 911 being dialed with no one talking. The address was a trailer in the bad part of town. The sort of neighborhood where a “Beware of Dog” sign may be up regardless of the presence of a dangerous dog.
She approached the trailer and noted the door was ajar. Looking in she noticed oxygen bottles and surmised that the call could have been a medical emergency, justifying her entry. She announced and started to enter just as two enormous pit bulls ran out of the bedroom. She closed the rickety door which shuddered under attacks from the dogs.
After a couple of minutes the property owners son asked what was going on. The owner was in the hospital. The dogs has knocked the phone off the hook and dialed 911. Calling in food apparently.
I don’t mind the phone calls from my dogs but their text messages are absolutely indecipherable.
LOL...OMG that’s awful.
;D
