Recently, a YCSO Patrol Volunteer came across a tractor trailer pulling out of a gas station with a dog attached to the trailer bumper. Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says the volunteer quickly activated lights and siren to alert the driver who stopped and was notified about the dog in tow. D’Evelyn says the grateful owner retrieved his pet and expressed deep appreciation for the volunteer’s efforts. Patrol Volunteers act only as eyes and ears when they are in the field, but this exception to use lights and siren to save this dog from injury or death has been deemed warranted by YCSO Command Staff. The driver was simply distracted and headed towards the interstate forgetting to unleash his dog. The dog was not injured. No charges are being sought.
