The following a fictional story:
A local dog did her civic duty Thursday night when she stopped a criminal from fleeing the scene of a bank robbery in Hanover.
The suspect, 35 year old George Smith, held up Petco in Hanover, demanding $100,000. He was wearing a Halloween costume and carrying a dictionary disguised as a bomb. After receiving his ransom, Smith tried to make his getaway.
Luckily, Artemis, a four year old, Samoyed was shopping with her owner. Perceiving the threat, Artemis charged and took down the suspect, without any previous training. She then proceeded to hold down Smith until the police arrived.
The police recount the incident:
Eight AM Thursday morning Smith entered the Hanover Petco dressed as a giant banana and carrying a standard Webster's dictionary. He then proceeded to the first cashier and demanded the money from all the registers and the safe. When the cashier refused, he told her that the dictionary was actually a bomb. The cashier than got the manager, who gave Smith the money.
Thinking that he had gotten away with the perfect crime, George sprinted out the door towards his 2011 Chevy Camaro. Suddenly, the brave Artemis broke away from her owner a sprinted after the suspect. After catching up to him, she clamped down onto his arm and refused to let go-a technique used by police dogs, but never taught to Artemis. The Samoyed managed to hold her quarry until the police arrived and arrested Smith.
Artemis will be presented an award Sunday by Governor Patrick for her bravery.
