While we were out, Rocko somehow got out of the house on 3/31/2005 and went for a walk. He was quickly found by Officer Hawk of the Warren PD on Comins Pond Road.

Even though he didn't get into any trouble, He was nabbed on the spot under a vague vagrancy statute and booked at the station. Police indicated that he was very cooperative and went willingly - Hopping right into the cruiser !

Being a Police Officer''s dog (and a juvenile - He's only 4 !), he was given due consideration and released to Katie on personal recognizance. SEE PICTURE !

But the big bad PIT BULL didnt get into ANY TROUBLE ! Where he was found is on our usual walk route. Rocko loves his walks and he hadnt been for a good walk in a few days due to the weather so he decided to take the initative himself.

In fact, we went for a walk with a good friend of ours, Tom and our kids last night(3/31/2005) in Brimfield. Tom's beagle, Nike, is Rocko's good pal - they have been walking together for a long time. Anyhow, we walked about 4 miles and 2 neighborhood dogs, Puppy and Crystal, went for a walk with us. Rocko didnt know them but instantly made friends and they all had a great time. It was a riot ! Rocko also gets really visibly upset if Tom comes over here without Nike.

So much for the Pit bull myth :-). It is sad so many people take issue with him and his brethren.
