emptychair The police officer went above his call of duty to rescue the dog like that. Here, the council would have taken the dog, and impounded it, as they do with all stray dogs, and then the owner needs to pay a fine to have their dog released to them again.

emptychair It is hard to rescue someone not cooperating with the rescuers, but she might have been distressed, and disorientated, so didn't respond to their call to grab the rope bags. It was good she was rescued in the end, and is likely will recover.
