    LIGHTS FLASHING AND SIREN SOUNDING

    I finished transcribing some information from my ipod and decided to play a rousing cheer-you-up tune: Yankee Doodle Dandy and Grand Ole Flag by Gene Kelly. I set it to play over and over again - in my earphones. Looking around the internet, I saw an article about a policeman in Ligonier who saved his canine partner from choking on a tennis ball that had lodged in his throat. Even with ball removed, the dog was not responding to commands and breathing irregularly. So, with the siren on and lights flashing they headed to the vet who treats lots of police dogs. Police in Noble and Dekalb counties determined he was out of his office and over the radio redirected the officer to Fort Wayne.

    Of course those lights should have been flashing . . . and the siren too. The image chokes you up. After all, there was an officer down.

    The dog is recovering nicely.
