Cops rescue German Shepherd from canal — with the help of a yummy Muffin
By Mike-Ross
It is widely recognized that dogs have an inherent love for food. Many dog owners are well aware of how their furry companions can be motivated and influenced by their favorite treats to exhibit good behavior.
Interestingly, a dog's fondness for snacking can prove to be more than just a delightful pastime—it can become a lifesaving attribute. Such was the case in a recent event where a group of police officers employed a muffin as a clever lure to rescue a dog in need.
The Glendale Police Department in Arizona responded to a distress call reporting a German Shepherd found swimming in a canal, seemingly trapped without a clear means of escape. Employing their quick thinking and resourcefulness, the officers resorted to using a muffin as a tempting enticement to safely retrieve the dog. This remarkable incident was shared on Facebook, capturing the hearts of animal lovers far and wide.

The officers arrived on the scene, and Officer Sorenson entered the canal to try to help the dog. However, the German Shepherd was scared and skittish and kept swimming away.
They needed something to lure the dog towards them — and Officer Downey happened to have the perfect plan. “Try this,” he says in the video posted by the department, taking a bag from his car. “It’s my wife’s pumpkin muffins.”
Sorenson took the muffin and offered it to the dog. Apparently the officer’s wife is quite a baker, because the German Shepherd swam right over to try the tasty treat. With the dog now close and trusting, Sorenson was able to get a collar around the dog, allowing them to lead him out of the water.

According to their Facebook post, the dog was then returned to his owner, who lived down the street. The officers were praised for their quick thinking to save the dog’s life — especially Officer Downey who heroically sacrificed his snack.
“Great work by our patrol officers! Hopefully Officer Downey’s wife was able to whip up a new batch of muffins for him!” the department wrote.
