'Vicious pit bull' call ends with friendly dog hanging out in cop car



TEXARKANA, Texas -- A call to the report of a "vicious pit bull" did not go as police expected.

According to the Texarkana, Texas Police Department, Officer Travis Frost was called Sunday to the report of a "vicious" dog. When Frost arrived at the address he found a dog laying on someone's front porch.

Frost said he left the door of his police cruiser open just in case he needed to escape the dog -- which turned out to be an American Bully.

He didn't.

Frost said he whistled at the dog which came right over wagging his tail. He petted the dog for a minute, then the dog jumped right into the front seat of the police cruiser.

The new pals took photos and waited for animal control to arrive:


By Monday, police said the dog's owner had been found thanks to a microchip. The owner's information wasn't updated in the system which is why the dog had an overnight stay at the animal shelter.
