Rather than continuing to flee police with its owner, a law-abiding Utah dog bit its owners nose off, bringing the chase to an end:
A police pursuit ended when the suspect's dog, not happy about being bounced around in the car, bit its owner on the face.Iron County sheriff's officers approached Nicholas T. Galanis, 47, of Salt Lake City to talk to him about some stolen property.
Galanis got in his car and fled with his dog.
The chase went southbound on Gold Springs Road, a windy, bumpy dirt road about five miles northwest of Modena, at around 5:38 p.m. Monday, said sheriff's detective Jody Edwards.
"Deputies could see the dog in the passenger seat getting slammed into the window," he said.The dog, which is partly pit bull, "became so agitated that he bit his owner in the face," Edwards said. "And this is what ended the chase."
Yeah, it was agitation all right: the kind of agitation a nice, probably Mormon dog feels when he's in the presence of a criminal. Of course he's going to try to set things right. Then he's going to have a cool, sweet bowl of green Jello.
Posted by floridacracker at June 14, 2006 09:59 AMI can understand the law-abiding dog..especially
a Mormon one, but green jello..?? cool green jello..??
maybe a cheseburger.
Posted by: csason at June 14, 2006 07:39 PMunfortunately, the dog won't be eligable for adoption because he shows agression
and he probably wanted, not jello for a treat, but a pigs ear. In fact, that may be what he thought the guys nose was bouncing around over there.
Damn..., a pigs ear..chomp , wrong :O
I think that was his way of saying, "slow down asshole"

Dang, I'm going to have to post that green jello link for the *fourth* time. Mormoms are all about green jello. I thought this was common knowledge.
Hey Frankie! It looks like my whole family is visiting tonight.

Your "green jello" remark reminded me of an incident with our dog some years back.
Our dog Sandy (mixed, mostly yellow lab) was known to eat anything remotely edible (and some things which were not). You're a dog owner, so I assume you know what I mean.
As a result she came in very handy for cleaning up the kitchen floor. Spill something; call Sandy; mess gone!
One day a bowl of strawberry jello fell out of the fridge and emptied onto the floor. I called Sandy and pointed to it. She looked at it, looked at me, looked at it again, and did nothing. She had no idea what I thought would interest her in that area.
I had to clean it up myself.
So, obviously, even a dog considers jello inedible.
