Local Pup Trapped After Freak Dogslide

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

In what authorities are calling “the worst dog pile-up in years,” a local pooch has become wedged under a second dog and is currently awaiting rescue.

“Dogs are especially susceptible to seismic shifts,” says geologist Stephen Franklin. “Then again, these two could have just been playing.”

According to sources, the dog has been in relatively good spirits, busying himself with the many treats and chew toys thrown down by well-wishers. Authorities estimate that the dog could be freed by early next week, weather permitting.

Meet the Future Police Dogs of the United Kingdom

Born in October 2011, these adorable German Shepherd pups are already well on their way to becoming lean, mean, crime fighting machines.  That’s because they’re part of the West Midlands Police dog training program. They will be taught how to follow and track scents, how to search for and locate missing property and people, and how to detain a fleeing suspect – including those with firearms.  

The rigorous training program will eventually lead these puppies to graduate as operational police dogs for the West Midlands Police, a force that takes their dogs seriously. (How seriously? Well, last year their ran a Pup Idol competition to find their next police dog star.)
