Like the title states.
My Dog got lose and he was only 3 houses down from where I live (Greendale).
My dog approched our mail man with no problems, so he held my dog (has met my dog before)and called police (protocol),told the officer exactly where I live and even pointed to the house but the cop was to lazy to walk 3 houses down so he took him to the station.
I get a call on my phone from the department stating they have my dog and I'm like how I just let him out 10 minutes ago, but they said they had him so I checked my backyard and sure enough he was gone and upon close inspection the spring for the clip came out making it stick wide open.
So I told the lady that I'll be right there and she then stated it will cost me $25 to have him returned to me, Im like what? It's my F'ing dog I paid for the micro chipping incase something like this happens so they can return him to me pronto but no they want their money for housing him in a dog crate. She also stated that if I dont pick him up right away that I will be paying Animal control $45 plus other BS fee's to get him back and if they sent him to the Humane Society they are going to charge me $250. I'm like WTF I only paid $75 for this dog back in the day micro'd chipped and everything now they would charge me for picking up my missing dog?
Anyways I bail out the Convict and only to go retrieve him from a dog crate that was inside their parking garage. Great! possible Carbon Monoxide poisioning, great thinking there by my local goverment.
I talked to the cop that picked him up and asked him why he didnt return him when the mailman showed you where I lived. He stated that it was policy and I said that your policy is to "serve" me the civillian, it would have only taken you 5 minutes. He had no comment.
Gee cops are not like they used to be.... Helpful and problem solving. Now they always needing to take the easy way out of things.
