emptychair The Police sometimes are called to do things, probably outside of their normal work, and usually respond to the call, even if no criminality is involved, as I doubt that this kitten was a cat burglar too.

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.
