BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – So here I was out on Patrol on a peaceful Sunday night when my Chauffeur, Deputy Tyler Young asked me if I wanted to grab a bite to eat.
Man, I looked at him like he had two heads because let’s be honest…eating is what I’m really good at.
Of course, since I don’t have any thumbs Tyler acts like a little cry baby and never lets me drive the truck which means he always gets to pick where we go eat.
To make matters worse from what he tells me when we are out on patrol is that his wife never lets him pick where they eat so he feels all big about himself when he actually gets to make a decision.
Well anyways, as I’m sitting back there drooling all over myself dreaming about what we are gonna eat, Tyler says…”we are gonna go grab a sancewich!!” Now granted, a sandwich wouldn’t be my first choice but hey it’s still quite tasty so I was all excited right up until the back door popped open and Tyler started putting on my lead.
Once my lead was on Tyler yelled at me “let’s go boy” in this high pitched voice like he was imitating his sister and then tells me we are going to track a fugitive that ran from us whose name is Kevin Sancewich!!
Are you kidding me right now Tyler, I’m freaking craving a sandwich and you think it’s funny to play word games? What’s next, tell me it’s a Chicken Sancewich because he ran like a little chicken when the Deputies told him he was under arrest?
Now being the professional that I am I couldn’t let my feelings get in the way as I literally don’t want to even look at Tyler at this point but I still have a job to do so I told Tyler to just point me in the direction he was last seen and get out of my way.
I’m literally starving to death cause I hadn’t eaten in like two hours but I start my track anyways and it leads me and the big dummy on the other end of my leash to some sea grapes.
Now of course Tyler is whining telling me to slow down as the sea grapes are not easy for him to get through!! I mean in fairness he was doing his best, but let’s be honest it’s not like he is the most athletic person in the world.
All of a sudden I hear Tyler yelling for “Sancewich” to come out or else I get to go find him, and I’m just hoping he doesn’t come out so I can at least bite into him since he made me miss my dinner at maybe Five Guys or even the Pizza Gallery.
Now just about the time Tyler yells “Sancewich” I see him hiding in the bushes, so I bit him!! I mean like what else would I do as I’m a dog and that’s what we do!!
I didn’t bite him like a grizzly bear or anything but just a little nibble that said “you about to mess around and find out.”
Around that time a few more Deputies arrived and made their way to us and I heard one of them say “show us your hands Kevin Sancewich or else the dog is going to bite you again!!” Welp guess what happened…he didn’t show us his hands so I bit him again and trust me when I tell you, he didn’t taste like chicken.
Well after that second little attention getter they got him cuffed and out of those ridiculous trees so they could search him and get him in the back of someone else’s car, because he wasn’t riding with us as he reeked of dirtbag.
One of our great Deputies, Deputy Givens was nice enough to give him a ride to “Ivey’s Iron Bar Lodge” where he was held on a “No Bond” status per his warrant, as well as for possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting without violence and violation of probation!
On a bright note, Tyler took me to our favorite deli after the bite fest where I got a real ham and cheese sandwich and got that nasty taste of dirtbag out my mouth!
Tyler said as a reward he would brush my teeth later so I don’t get any kind of dirtbagitis or anything!
