It’s just a stupid animal. If the police officer had hold of the guy when he jumped and didn’t have the sense to let go, we’d be talking about a dead cop now...
They trained the dog to hold on, even when the guy jumped into the water. Blame the trainer’s, don’t blame the guy who jumped off the bridge.
I gotta admit, there ain’t a thing wrong with what you just said. If that was the kinda thing Gawain meant, then fine. God knows I have more than once not accurately typed out what was actually inside my scary lil head.
