Woman taught dog to dial 911
A US woman who ended up with three police cars outside her home claims she was teaching her dog to dial 911.
Sylvia D'Antonio, 46, of Lake Parsippany, New Jersey, was charged with disorderly conduct for making three late night 911 calls. But she insists the calls were made by Slayer, her German shephard, reports the Asbury Park Press.
A police dispatcher was alarmed because when the calls were picked up "the only communication was someone breathing heavily". The calls were traced and three squad cars raced to D'Antonio's home where they found there was no emergency.
D'Antonio claimed she told Slayer how to dial 911 in an emergency and the dog got the number right. "She knocks it off the hook and then she steps on it," she said.

Moral of the story: Be careful of what you train your dog to do. It will come back to haunt you when you least expect it.

Sorry Richard. I can imagine what you'd have to say but I still think it's pretty funny...
