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.

A dog that butt dials?
 @Kushfan Imagine all of the grass in the keyboard.....
That's too good! Dials 911 and burys the phone too. You just can't make this stuff up.....
 @phastphx Sounds eerily like PA

David Berkowitz strikes again????? The dog made me do it???
"What took you so long?"
Um, why would a burglar call you? "Hi, I'm just letting you know your house is being burglarized." ??
 @Jamie Our friggin dogs would help.
I hear you there. I've always said mine would point out the good stuff and help load the truck.
Interesting, maybe the dog was jealous that the master spent more time on the phone than with Fido.

Fido:Â "Grrrr, won't listen to my pleas when I beg for attention...this will teach him..., howlololol"
