Police Makes “The Cutest Arrest Ever” After Dog Escapes Shelter And Tries To Free His Friends
Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who?
Apparently, a dog named King tried when he broke out of his kennel before setting the alarm at his rescue off, creating a ruckus while trying to break himself and his buddies free.
At the Lost Our Home Pet Rescue in Tempe, Arizona, USA, King, an agile husky, disrupted what had been a peaceful night at the animal shelter.
Deciding enough was enough, the clever pup figured out how to break out from his kennel before opening the doors to his shelter and letting himself out.

The impressive escape had all been captured by security cameras.
Lost Our Home Pet Rescue founder Jodi Polanski told Fox 10 Phoenix: “The alarm went off. It was like, you know, 12 o’clock, 1 o’clock in the morning, and I immediately looked to see what was going on and couldn’t find anything happening, and then I saw the mess, and I was like, oh my God.”

That “oh my” was the reaction to the footage of King breaking out of his kennel and even trying to get his friends out to join his party, the local broadcaster reported.
After managing to open a closed door, the four-legged liberated hero decided he needed some food and drinks, making a mess in the process.
But King’s great escape and fun came to an abrupt end when he was eventually busted by a Tempe Police officer.

Jodi recalled: “The police actually came because he set the alarm off, and it kept going off over and over again.”
Nicknamed “Mr. Clean,” the Tempe officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, got King back in his bed and ended up cleaning the aftermath of the brave pooch’s festivities.

Jodi further stated: “I was looking at the footage the next morning. 2 in the morning. I’m like, ‘how is that possible?’ I had no idea the officer was going to clean up, and I saw it, and I was just like, wow, amazing man that he did that.”
Taking to their official Facebook page, the shelter posted the security footage of the husky’s elaborate breakout and the officer cleaning up his mess.

“Did you catch us in the news!! They are loving what was caught on our security cameras!?!? Lol…” the shelter wrote.
They further penned: “The Tempe Police Department is called to the scene for what can only be described as the cutest arrest ever!

“This dog had some amazing skills! And one of the coolest police officers ever that went above and beyond the call of duty cleaning up the mess the dog made.
“We are a non-profit pet rescue specializing in a unique temporary care program for families in crisis that need a safe place for their pets while they get back on their feet.”
King’s little escapade wasn’t in vain, as it enabled The Lost Our Home Pet Rescue to call the public for their cause, as they currently need pet food, especially dry cat food. They’re also looking for large dog fosters.
“He’ll be rescued in a heartbeat!” a hopeful reader predicted
I think the coolest part of this story is that the police have 24 hour access. What a great relationship that provide a win win situation.
I love how joyful the puppy was, especially at seeing the officer. It’s nice to hear the pup was adopted too. And I like seeing positive stories about police officers because there are good, kind people in that profession for the right reasons. Not 100% of officers are good and not 100% are horrible people either. This guys was thoughtful. I’m surprised he didn’t pet the dog a bit longer after he made his way around to ensure there was no real danger. I can totally understand why he initially doesn’t give the pup all of his attention but I would have taken the opportunity to get some pets in before putting him back in his kennel.
I was thinking the same. For every bad cop who does the wrong thing there is another one who is just there trying to help the community and do his (or her) best. Painting all cops as monsters is every bit as bad as being racist or homophobic. Judge people as individuals not as a group!

"The escape attempt was made back in November; however, the shelter didn't release the footage until recently. The video was made for a fundraiser the shelter hosts every December called 'Sit, Stay, Brunch.'" King has since been adopted. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/01/10/tempe-arizona-shelter-dog-escapes-kennel-caught-by-police/72164626007/
They need different handles for those kennel doors. That was TOO easy to maneuver for a dog. I hope whomever adopts King knows the breed really well and helps prevent such easy escapes.
I've been adopting abused huskies since 2000 and boy are they smart. They also understand MANY words and phrases so like having a child, my partner and I spell a lot of words so not to let him in on certain things (speaking about my current 12 yo husky). They are amazingly spiritual and loving animals and I'd change nothing about the adoptions and will be doing this as long as I'm able to.
I wouldn't describe any animal as spiritual but huskies are definitely smart, and way too vocal for their own good. If any dog breed is going to evolve human levels of speech it'll be a husky.
