Dog Miraculously Saved From Drowning by a Delicious Baked Good
Some good samaritans in Glendale, Arizona noticed a German Shepherd pup was swimming back and forth after being trapped in a canal and alerted local police officers. One of these heroic officers remembered his wife packed a pumpkin muffin for his lunch and used it to lure the frightened dog to safety.
Check out the video the Glendale Police Department posted to their Facebook page to see this rescue in action.
The police department posted the following on their Facebook page:
Officers arrived on scene and located a tired German Shepherd swimming back and forth in the canal. Officer Sorenson took immediate action by removing his ballistic vest and gun belt and entering the canal to try and rescue the dog. The dog was skittish and did not immediately come to Officer Sorensen, but Officer Downey had just the plan. His wife had packed him some freshly baked pumpkin muffins for his patrol shift, and they were just the bribery needed for this little pooch. Officer Sorensen was able to use the muffin as a tool to get the dog close, at which time he grabbed onto his collar and removed him from the canal.
Gratefully, the dog was reunited with his owner who lived just down the street. Great work by our patrol officers! Hopefully Officer Downey’s wife was able to whip up a new batch of muffins for him!
People absolutely love this rescue story, and @Angela says, "That officers wife saved the day with her pumpkin muffins." She absolutely did! @Sarah adds, "I'm sure wife will appreciate you sharing with the German Shepard and saving he dog ..Great job guys and great teamwork!!"
Now, I think all of us would really appreciate this muffin recipe. You know, just in case we need to rescue a drowning dog or make some for ourselves! Oh delicious baked goods, is there anything you can't do?
