A friend of mine who is a police officer posted this humorous photo on his Facebook page a while back. It reminded me of when my oldest daughter as a 3-year-old toddler was riding with me many years ago, a police car pulled up next to us who had a police dog sitting in the back. Thinking nothing of it, I pointed to the dog for her to look at. We both looked over at the dog and smiled and probably even waved or something. Well, the dog just went ballistic. Needless to say, the officer didn't find it at all amusing. Neither did we for that matter as we were horrified when the dog went crazy. Then the officer flipped his flashing lights on and with no uncertain irritation motioned for us to pull over. We assured him that we were not trying to tease or intimidate the dog in any way. He finally let us go on our way, but the lesson was learned. Don't mess with a police dog or do anything to make them even remotely think you may be pointing something at them.
