Someone Called The Police About A “Vicious Dog” When An Officer Came Near It, And He Got Surprised.
First impressions are everything, and it is no different for dogs. Unfortunately, some breeds, like pit bulls, often get a bad reputation because of their tough and muscular appearance. However, one police officer in the United States recently had the opportunity to challenge this stereotype and show just how wrong these assumptions can be.

A call about a vicious dog
It was 2018, and someone called the Texarkana, Texas, Police Department and said a “vicious dog” was running amok in the area. Officer Travis Frost discovered the dog on someone’s lawn when he arrived. Based on the call, he figured the dog would come after him or attack him.
It was a stray pit bull who was anything but vicious. This sweet pup jumped into the officer’s patrol car and snuggled up next to him as if they were old friends. This story is a reminder to always look behind outward signs of affection and kindness to recognize their presence in all dog breeds.
Ride with the police officer.
While driving, Officer Frost and the pit bull started to bond, taking photos together and chatting. The dog was looking out the window, enjoying the scenery. But Officer Frost could not help but think about the negative stereotypes associated with pit bulls. He realized that people often automatically assume that pit bulls are vicious because of their appearance.
This incident reminded Officer Frost of the importance of not judging a dog based on its breed. He took to Facebook to share his experience and message with the public. He said in the post that While you should always be careful around any dog you do not know, you should not automatically assume that all pit bulls are bad dogs. He also said they might be loving like this guy was this morning.
Pitbull had a family.
The pit bull turned out to have a loving family of his own. He had just gotten out and was lost. Although his owner had microchipped him, the information needed to be updated, making it difficult to find him. But with the help of the local animal care center, the pit bull was soon reunited with his family.
This story elaborates nicely on the importance of responsible pet ownership. The pit bull’s owner raised and trained him right, which made all the difference. A well-behaved dog can bring joy and love to those around them regardless of breed. It is important to remember that a dog’s behavior is determined mainly by how it is raised and trained by its owner.
