Cop Saves a Woman’s Life After Choosing to Understand a Dog Instead of Shooting It

Germantown, WI — An incredible story from Friday morning starts out with a black lab named John Boy, approaching a police officer.

Germantown police officer, Jeff Gonzalez deserves credit for not only refusing to do what so many other cops do when dogs approach them, but actually getting out in the freezing weather to see why this dog was loose.

“He stood there and barked a little bit, then I rolled down my window and called to him. Then he wagged his tail and got more friendly until I got out of my car. And then he ran a little bit,” said Gonzalez.

John Boy was seemingly trying to get the officer’s attention in an effort to help his owner.

“Yeah, he sure did. He pointed me in the right direction,” said Gonzalez.

John Boy led the officer up the street to a house where his owner, Krystal, was unresponsive. Krystal, who suffers from a heart condition, was slumped over in a chair outside her front door, still in her pajamas. It was dangerously cold out.

"Given the historical record, the headline writer managed to convey a shocking bit of news in a few well chosen words. "

A cop was friendly to a dog. A cop saved a life. Yeah, shocking. /s

“Dogs KNOW stuff.”

Yes, they do.

We should all pay more attention to what they are trying to say.

“that they adopted John Boy. He was returned three times by three different families prior to ending up in the home of the owner whose life he would eventually save.”

God will make sure a dog goes where it’s needed.

I firmly believe that God still uses animals for His purposes.

For all we know Konan may have just such a “special purpose.”

I don’t know anything except that God seems to have answered a long running prayer.

That’s good enough for me.

Hey, Angora goats don’t smell. Well except the males during breeding season.... that would be August until all the nannys are bred, then they quit peeing on themselves. They think the nannys cannot resist the smell of their urine...yikes and P U.But that hair on their belly is sheared off in late september. gg

Good dog story from Germantown, WI. It was -12 this morning, but the thermometer in the car. My husband reported that after he went to an early morning meeting at church. Everyone else reported the same temp, so I know it was not an anomoly.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
