Officer Dan Waskeiwicz Responds To Call About Vicious Dog.. And Adopts Lovable Pit Bull Instead
Posted in: Today's ChiliIn May 2012, a Baltimore police officer named Dan Waskeiwicz received a call about a vicious canine.
But when he arrived, he instead found a sad, shy pit bull with his tail between his legs. In a letter about the incident to the Modified K-9 Blog, Waskeiwicz wrote that people had also been yelling out their windows at the dog and even throwing bottles.
But Waskeiwicz knew the pit bull wasn’t dangerous — just misunderstood. The officer got out of his car, called the dog over, and gave him some water. Then, instead of calling the pound, he took the scared dog in his patrol car and later adopted him. The supposedly vicious pit bull — now called Bo — was warmly welcomed into Waskeiwicz’ home with two other dogs.
