KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN'S DAVE ROBERTS HAS THE CALL.. AND THE STORY BEHIND IT..DAVE? ("Sarpy County 911.What is the address of the emergency? Sarpy County 911?.") COULD THIS BE A REAL EMERGENCY? NO ONE ANSWERS. SCRATCHES ON THE PHONE.("They were thinking oh my gosh this is never happened before.") IF IT WAS REAL SERIOUS... SARPY COUNTY 911 ASSISTANT DIRECTOR MARILYN GABLE WOULDN'T BE SMILING. ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE... A DIFFERENT EMOTION.("It's a little embarrassing.") WHY YOU ASK? WELL... ASK SOPHIE?("Did you have an emergency Sophie? Huh?.") YES... SOPHIE. A JAPENESE CHIN ... USED HER PAWS ON MELISSA ACOSTA'S CELL PHONE... TO REACH EMERGENCY OPERATORS HERE.("What did you do Sophie?" "Hello?" "Oh, hello?" "Hello? This is 911. Is there an emergency?" "No. My dog just. I just got my phone away from my dog.")("Can you ever recall a dog calling Sarpy County 911?" "I certainly can't. In all the years that I've been here is definitely a first for us.") ("I thought she was just trying to curl up next to me cause she usually does that. She was digging with her paw.") SOPHIE APPERENTLY PAWED AND SCRATCH AT THE PHONE... UNTIL SOMEONE ANSWERED ON THE OTHER END.ááásotáááÑ("I was a little afraid when I saw that there was 911 on the caller ID.")
