A doggy

duo

prank called

the cops!

Two dogs in Minnesota
called 911 over a dozen
times! After the first call
came in, police went to
the residence to check out
the scene. But when they
arrived, no one was home
— they only heard barking
dogs. The cops eventually
made their way inside,
where they found the two
pups using their paws to
hit “emergency call only”
on their owner’s cellphone!
