WESTFIELD – Dogs sometimes get blamed for a wide variety of ills, from the stink that nobody wants to take responsibility for to the homework which wasn’t turned in because it was eaten.
On Wednesday a Hawks Circle dog took the rap for something different when a resident called for help after her dog locked her out of her car.
The resident told an emergency dispatcher shortly before 2 p.m. that after she got out of her car her dog activated the car’s lock when it jumped on the locking button.
Westfield Fire Capt. Seth Ellis reports he found the vehicle’s engine running when he arrived and made entry via the driver’s door without incident.
