Earlier this month, Sergeant Jason Legleiter and Police Officer Wade
Hammond were at a local Wal-Mart in Arkansas City, Kansas, on a
shoplifting call. After they’d arrested the suspect, an employee told
them something shocking – there was a dog in the parking lot hanging by
his leash.
They quickly ran to the vehicle and their body cameras caught what
happened next. The Arkansas City Police Department released the photos
on its Facebook.
When they approached the dog, he appeared to be dead, but Sergeant
Legleiter wasn’t ready to give up on the dog. He quickly cut the pup’s
leash and then Officer Hammond tended to the pup.
The dog was unresponsive at first. Officer Hammond removed the dog’s
collar and applied pressure to his side to revive him. Slowly, he began
to respond and after several minutes, he was stable.
The police have yet to release details on the dog’s owners or how the
dog ended up hanging by his leash. And, based on a comment they left on
their Facebook page, they are unlikely to release that information any
time soon:
There have been many comments on this post asking if the
owner(s) of the dog were charged. While we understand your concerns we
cannot release all of the related facts of this case. We can say that
all of the information was gathered and it will be up to the prosecutor
to decide if any charges will be filed. Rest assured that if charges are
warranted, they will be filed. For now we would just like to focus on
the officers and the great work they did.
We are so grateful that there are people like Sergeant Legleiter and
Officer Hammond in the world. Because of them, this dog is safe. High
paws!
