911 bad calls

A call to 911 in Albuquerque, N.M., turned into a tragic ending.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a dog-lover just like Candice A. Salvatore from Mariners Harbor in Staten Island. She says she had only the best intentions when she called 911 to report an "abandoned baby". Unfortunately when police responded they found themselves rescuing an emaciated 'pit bull puppy' on her block.

In an incident that’s sure to rattle your faith in emergency services, a 911 dispatcher in Maryland nodded off and started snoring after taking a panicked call from a woman whose husband had stopped breathing. Yeesh. Not a great time to fall asleep on the job, guy.

We’ve seen our fair share of bizarre pet stories before, but this one definitely beats all others. In the UK, a choking dog managed to make an emergency phone call for help and responders saved him just in time. That’s one lucky pooch!

I can’t imagine the look on the operators face when they took this call!
