Black Lab Retrieves Pot, Causes Owner's Drug Arrest Dog Wades Into Creek, Retrieves Pot, Takes It To Officer
POSTED: 9:22 am EST February 16, 2005 UPDATED: 10:56 am EST February 16, 2005
GRAPEVINE, Texas -- JD the Labrador Retriever meant well, but he has landed his owner in a mess of trouble.
Police said his owner, Matthew Porter, of Richland Hills, was playing Frisbee golf with two friends at a suburban Dallas-Fort Worth course Monday when a police officer arrived.
The officer thought he smelled burning marijuana, so he asked the men for identification and began checking for outstanding warrants.
JD, apparently sensing the party was over, waded into nearby Bear Creek, retrieved a plastic bag containing pot and brought it to the officer.
The black Lab's 25-year-old owner was charged with possessing drug paraphernalia. Micah Hays, 24, was charged with marijuana possession. The third member of the party -- a 31-year-old Mansfield man -- wasn't charged. JD was turned over to him.
Suggestion: Divide the number of reported felonies by the number of police officers in your town. I've seen towns where they have more cops than felonies in a year. And, it's not because they have so many cops. Cops don't stop crimes, they write reports.
If you have less than a felony per officer per year, you're overcopped.
Actually, we have a nasty problem in a lot of our parks. I'm not in favor of some entrapment efforts that I've read about but I do like having cops making the guys at the edge of the park and on the trails keep moving. If'n you know what I mean.
Or underfelonined.
Many Search and Rescue and Seeing Eye dogs are labs.
Would your unemployed drinking buddy risk his life to search through rubble for you?
In the early 70's, there was a park where the police swarmed in and kicked a hugh amount of hippies out of. You see, people couldn't bring their families there without seeing some kind of "circus act", or stoned flocks of people.
And :
Who said "Give me Librium or give me meth?"
Obviously there are two certainties in life: meth and taxes. It's all going to the dogs. It's only a matter of time before the cops catch on to pot-bellied pigs.
Hell yeah! Or he wouldn't be my unemployed drinking buddy!
Unemployed drinking buddies are good people, they'll just never split the atom.
Heh. I think those guys were not the rocket scientists. The Lab did its job.
About the only thing they will convict on if the defense lawyer is halfway decent is the paraphenalia.
Timothy Leary? Or was it Courtney Love...
I just saw this on the evening news. LOL The owner laughed about it and said no he's not mad at the Lab.
My youngest Lab woke me up the Monday Morning with the See's Candy Easter Catalog in his mouth for me....I had been fighting the night before with myself on controlling my urge to order some for Easter.
Here is a pic from Valentines, they are growing fast. They pups have both discovered my son is the same guy in the waterbed and in the wheelchair and the baby is retreiving things bringing them to my son and can't quite understand why he doesn't throw thing for him. He wants to help care for my son sooo bad but I haven't figured out how to integrate his desire yet. He does take all his blankets and pillows off of him when he is frustrated with me, gotta turn that into a positive action. He really is into my son's going ons and now the 1yr old is joining in because he wants to outshine in the popularity dept.
The 11yr old continues to assist by opening and closing doors for us and interacts with my son but he is sloooooowing down and stepping back a bit.

Yeah huh duh the dopey dude tosses the bag and his retreiver fetches.
LOL to funny. Great story.
Holy Crap! I am so glad the dog was not hurt.
My family had a lab "Blackie" when I was a little girl...preschool age. I used to run to the window every morning, drag a chair over, and look outside for my buddy.
Mom could put me outside for HOURS with that dog and never worry about me (although, she kept a sharp eye of course). Blackie would oversee me in my baby pool...and if I slipped he would grab my bathing suit strap and pull me up. I also rode him around like a horse...I was the oldest kid, and I loved that doggie...he was my best friend.
I have pictures of me riding him around; and of him standing guard; RIGHT next to me at the side of the pool...he has a look on his face like he had the most important job in the world!
If it was he should lose custody of his Lab (the dog).
Did you see the news here in Oregon about the woman who tried to smuggle pounds of meth (I think 16) in horse saddles through PDX.
Cops said if she wasn't holding her stomach and looking so nervous she would have succeeded. Hindsight for her, she should have maybe not dipped into her speed and taken a few downers to avoid that paranoid look.
Good snacks eh.
Here are my latest from Feb. 14

Yeah but if kids are playing in the park too.....
Someone most likely reported the guys.
Yep We are on the coast and the transeint camps in the bushes are many. State Parks ect.
All around town for that fact.
Then there is the seedy men who like the bathrooms at the State Park.
Your Honor, it was the dog's stash. Not mine. I swear.
