CALL FROM 'BURGLAR' ACTUALLY CAME FROM DOG

CALL FROM 'BURGLAR' ACTUALLY CAME FROM DOG
05 October 2012

You know the drill. You're at work. Your mobile phone rings. You see it's your home phone number but it can't be you because you're at work, plus you never call yourself.

IT'S A THIEF!

CALL THE FEDS!

Exactly this happened in Salt Lake City when a man alerted police after he received a phone call from his home phone. Officials say the man heard banging and scratching noises on the line and figured it was an intruder.

Police went to the man's home but didn't find anything missing or broken.

The man later called officers and told them he figured out the mystery. He said his dog had grabbed the home phone's receiver and apparently hit the redial button while burying it in the backyard.

So this guy does ring himself?
