Police: Call from 'burglar' actually came from dog
OREM, Utah (AP) — Police in Orem, Utah, say a man who thought he was getting a call from a burglar had actually gotten a call from his dog.
Authorities in the community south of Salt Lake City say the man alerted police Wednesday after he received a phone call from his home phone on his cellphone. Officials say the man heard banging and scratching noises on the line and figured it was an intruder.
Police went to the man's home but didn't find anything missing or broken.
The man later called officers and told them he figured out the mystery. He said his dog had grabbed the home phone's receiver and apparently hit the redial button while burying it in the backyard.

Heh!
This story put a huge smile on my face. I like thinking of that dog as having a sense of humor!
Obviously the dog was tired of those Robo-callers.
"Police went to the man's home but didn't find anything missing or broken." Then to find the phone was missing from the house and buried in the backyard! The dog was calling to let the owner know that he is going to be burying his phone! Too funny indeed!
That's funny!
LOL! Oh I'm sure the search for the phone would've been really interesting had that call not gone thru! If it was anyone closer to home, that dog may be doing me a favor!
