So did the dog approach a LEO specifically or was he trying to get any human's attention?

Could John Boy recognize a police car and reason that the cop inside would help?

Had John Boy interacted with LEO's before?

Don't suppose I'll ever know whether this was incredible coincidence or evidence of higher-order intelligence.

At any rate, that's a GOOD DOG

What a good boy! And the officer really is an angel. He could just as easily have ignored the dog, but instead wondered why a dog like that was roaming in that kind of weather. Kudos, sir!

A headline about a cop and a dog, written by a jackass.

Given the historical record, the headline writer managed to convey a shocking bit of news in a few well chosen words.

The rest of the stories at this so-called free thought project are all about how horrible and evil cops are. Even the title of this story gives them away - as if cops shoot dogs for fun.
There must be a better source for this story than this disgusting site.

“Cop Saves a Woman’s Life After Choosing to Understand a Dog Instead of Shooting It”

A headline about a cop and a dog, written by a jackass.

***********

Translation of Headline: “Rare example of a cop who is not crazed dog killer.”

My dog can tell the difference between the Christian Jordanian and the Muslim Jordanian at the local gas station. No joke.

Here’s a dog cookie for you, John Boy and a big, big hug!
You’re such a good boy!

Eagles6:" Yeah but I’ll bet she reads it first. My German Shepherd Collie never put the sections back in order so I knew!"

Probably , because the dog can't read cursive.
Actually, German Shepards are more intellignet than most voters !
and generally they start out on the comic page before making deliviery.

a cat once led me to rescue her kittens.

No, it really happened.

Given the usual headline and story about cops and dogs, I like this headline and happy ending, along with the reminder of better times and more common common sense.

Whatever the reason(s), dog and cop stories usually don't end well for the dog any more.

These days, unfortunately, Lassie and Old Yeller have about the same survival rate as Bambi on opening day.

I used to read tall tales of Paul Bunion and Pecos Bill too.

A headline worthy of Brian Williams.
