Hey Peggy how can I listen to your comment carefully? Maybe you should re-read before you post. As far as a childish tantrum, well I make one comment about calling 911 and you break out Ms Snarky! Trying to tell me what I would do Hahaha lady you have no idea what I would of done to help that boy and his dog.. anyway So we both agreed that we both would stop if we hit the dog right? So I'm sure we both would stop if we saw someone hit the dog... with that logic the child holding his dog for the last time in the road with you blocking traffic is not a life threatening situation. Non-emergency dispatch has triage as well. :)
