Lost dog 'hands itself in' at Loughborough Police Station​


CCTV shows the moment Rosie wanders into the police station
By Amy Phipps & Victoria Hicks
A lost dog has been reunited with its owners after walking into a police station.
Rosie sought help from officers after being scared by a firework on 3 November.
CCTV footage from Loughborough Police Station captured the moment the border collie arrived and took a seat in the waiting room.
Leicestershire Police staff fetched some water and gave her a fuss before calling the number on her ID tag.

Rosie's owners Steve and Julie Harper said the 10-year-old rescue dog ran away at about 16:00 GMT.
It happened while Mr Harper, 68, was walking her and their other dog Laser at Southfields Park in the town.
"She went and stood with her dad, which she does when she is nervous, and then skedaddled [when the firework went off]," said Mrs Harper, 61.
"She pushed herself through a hedge and handed herself in to the police station.

"The police station is right next to the park."

"I was so pleased and so happy she was safe and so proud of her that she was clever enough to find her way to the police station," she said.
Leicestershire Police said: "Thankfully she was wearing a collar, so a lead was available to contact Rosie's owner, who was delighted she had been found safe and well."

Don't be surprised that dogs are actually smarter than human beings except they cannot talk. They can feel that you are in danger of heart attack & come to comfort you. That is why they are man's best friend. Sometimes it is better to have a dog as a friend than a human being. They never harm you & dedicate their whole life to you.
