Puppy's 911 call led to owner's arrest

A man from Quinte West in Southern Ontario, Canada may be questioning the loyalty of his best friend after his puppy called the police.

OPP received a 911 call from a home in the city’s Trenton Ward neighbourhood on Friday. The call was dropped, so curious police traced the call and showed up at the door.

They found a man who said his four-month-old puppy had stepped on the phone with its paws and had accidentally called the police.

But, police then ran a criminal check on the man and discovered he was wanted on an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court in April of this year. The man was promptly arrested and taken to Belleville Police Service headquarters, then released a short time later.
