Thought id share with you a call we went on at 2 am the other day. The following are the actual dispatch notes we received on the radio...just picture 5 grown men laughing their asses off as we get the details...
COMPLAINANT IS RESIDENT... SHES WORRIED SICK ... COMPLAINANTS KITTY WAS CHASED INTO A TREE BY THE NEIGHBORS FEROCIOUS DOG....COMPLAINANT IS UNABLE TO CLIMB TREE... COMPLAINANT IS UNSURE IF KITTY WILL BE SEEN AGAIN IF FIRE DEPARTMENT DOESNT HELP..UNK WHERE DOG IS NOW... COMP IS FRANTIC BECAUSE CATS LIFE IS ON THE LINE
So we arrive to sure enough a "frantic" (more like tweakin) lady flagging us down like it was a matter of life and death. Come to find out this ferocious dog is really a cuddly yellow lab who just wants the dam cat out of his tree. To make a long story short..the cat was successfully rescued by the low guy on the totem pole, "me". We still die laughing at that call. Worth waking up for? Maybe not but still funny.
Now for the dog story...so im training for The Top of Utah Marathon and was running along teh route about 8 miles into my run when i see a dog running towards we. Alarmed, i jump a little then the lesh catches him and he stops. Phewww! im safe i think looking at this killer bear dog thing and then SNAP, the rope breaks and hes on me in a second. Those of you who know me know i have calves chiseled from marble, haha, jk, but seriously i think thats the only reason he didnt totally tear me up. I did get plenty of cuts but mostly deep bruises and welts. The old man finally got the dog to go away and i made him drive me back to my car. Couldnt walk strait for a few days, but it could've been worse. Also is you bitten by a dog and its an unfamiliar dog ABSOLUTELY CALL ANIMAL CONTROL AND IF THE BITE BREAKS THE SKIN GO TO ER OR INSTACARE. These things have to be reported and you need to CYA.
almost exactly the sixe dog that got me. jk. but look at that thing!
