Police in Ballwin, Missouri responded to call unlike any other Friday — a family dog sucked up by a robotic vacuum.
“I called 911 because I figured somebody’s gotta be able to help me,” Megan Dunavant said.
Her elderly Shih Tzu, Stonewall, was trapped. The robotic vacuum had shut off right next to him, and when Dunavant looked more closely, she realized his tail was caught inside.
“He’s alligator rolling trying to get loose and freaking out,” she said.
Megan — with a newborn at home — was freaking out, too.
“I’m all alone. This is awful. This is like something out of a movie. You can’t make this up,” she said.

First unplug it. Then take it apart where the roller is to free his tail. With a mama like that, well, poor baby and poor dog.

Nature can abhor a vacuum for only so long before there is a vaclash.

I had mine on auto start at a certain time of the day - until the one one day when the dog puked, crapped, and pissed on the floor probably on account of something he ate off the sidewalk. The robotvac dutifully went about its random walk and spread that all over the place...
That took hours of cleaning up.
It’s now referred to as the “poopapocalypse”.

Don’t worry. If injured, take the dog to Walmart or any other re-tailer in the area.
