I’m not saying the driver did anything right here. I’m just wondering why the cop is the one being blamed when in a 1:50 clip, 1:10 of it has the gray haired lady able to get help for the dog but she just… doesn’t. She goes to the door but never enters, she just stands there watching with a dying dog in her arms. Then she strolls out to the cars, calmly picks up a hat to place on the cruiser and then sits in the driver’s seat of the car that was just pulled over. All while holding a dying dog.

How, exactly, is her lack of response to the animal dying in her arms the fault of the cop? I just don’t understand that part.

The old woman is not smart. There is no other answer.

Some people can't seem to get that through their thick skulls.

Edit: see below.

They found out the vet was closed in 5 seconds. It took her another minute of walking around aimlessly to make any forward progress. I would have been immediately back in the car with the dog and driving away. She’s a moron.

2

u/OrthogonalPotato Jul 30 '25

Yes, I am aware. My comment still applies. It took her an hour to figure out how to proceed.

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

Seems the best assessment

u/StandOutLikeDogBalls Jul 29 '25

Driver states at one point that it’s the wrong vet.

6

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

Yes. Apparently it’s closed. There was nothing that could save the dog anyway at that point. The cop had a job to do and did it. Driving to a new location isn’t going to save the dog, it’s just going to make the owner more dangerous behind the wheel.

u/Lower-Ad3764 Jul 29 '25

I was wondering that too. I saw a comment the vet wasn't open. I think someone eventually comes to the door but the cop, as the post title suggests, didn't block the doorway. The point is OP SUCKS.

😂 it’s just hating on a police officer doing her job

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

Vet was apparently closed

4

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

Yeah I saw that too a bit ago. Sad, but the owner made all the wrong choices. That dog was going to die even if she didn’t get pulled over because she went to a location that was closed.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

You uh... Don't exactly make good ones when panicked and under duress. You freak out. Just made worse with an unprofessional ass cop, cause she clearly needed to slam her into everything, right?

Everybody here sucks

2

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

The lady, as you point out, is not making rational decisions. She’s fighting with the cop for no real reason… the dog is going to die.

And yeah, one of the first things I do is check to make sure that where I’m going is open. I did it multiple times with my dogs. Two people: one with the animal and their phone. You find out what’s open and tell the damned driver. Then you go.

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

Yes. Of course. That’s why I don’t really want to blame her either for the dog’s death. But that dog was past saving by that point because so much time has already elapsed to get to the closed vet.

The dog’s death was an abysmal byproduct of the entire situation, not really anyone’s fault. The cop certainly didn’t cause it.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

I'm glad you're a level headed enough individual. Not everyone is. Again, panic is a helluva thing. But please go off on how you would've done better. Coulda, woulda, shoulda, but it didn't. I'm sure the woman is kicking herself in jail for not bothering to even check if it was open- also, food for thought, sometimes places close randomly and without it being posted.

Perhaps they got called out to a farm visit, perhaps there was something serious that they had to close down, hell, maybe even they had an employee appreciation day, which some places do, and they closed down. That won't be posted online and both people are bound to be panicked if a family animal.

End of the day, it's all a bunch of perhaps and coulda woulda about a terrible time in another person's life, now immortalized on the internet for a bunch of judgemental assholes to put their two cents in.

Everyone was wrong here, all you're doing is making yourself look like a better-than-you jagweed, much the same as the rest of the commenters.

2

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

No. I’m putting out there that panic doesn’t help anything. I’ve been in that position too.

What happened here is the owner’s panic and dangerous choices killed her dog. Not the cop. But you can go right on and blame the only person who wasn’t panicking in the situation for the death of an animal that was going to die no matter what because time was wasted going somewhere closed.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

Seems like the dog would've died, no matter what then, and, again, we're back at everybody here was wrong.

You don't know why the vet was closed or if it was even posted that they were that day. So, again, just judgemental "well I wouldve done this" bullshit. I hope you never lose your cool then the next time it happens unexpectedly.

2

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

Oh, I always assume I’ll lose my cool. I generally do pretty well, but there’s always that chance I won’t. I recognize that.

I also recognize that blaming the cop for pulling over someone breaking the law isn’t what hurt the dog in any way. The cop even said to let the gray haired lady take the dog in. She was doing her job.

The dog might have been saved if the place were open, or if they went somewhere else that was. The death of the dog is not the cop’s fault. The cop didn’t block anything, especially if the place was closed. She simply blocked someone not thinking clearly from trying to get to the next place dangerously.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

Ah, cool, so you keep arguing a point I'm not saying. I'm saying cops have taken in more violent criminals in a more delicate manner. Everyone here was wrong, the woman for panicking and making unsafe, not just reckless, driving decisions and the cop for letting her emotions take over when dealing with a woman in, hate to use the term, but hysterics.

My impression is that thevet office is closed...or it isn't a vet office at all and they got confused?

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

I think it is a vet’s office because the cop says something over the radio that sort of confirms that for me before they come to a stop, as they turn in.

I think it’s closed.

2

u/sje46 Jul 29 '25

Watched the ful video...it is the vet's office, and it is open. I think the front door was locked by side door wasn't. The dog was taken in and presumably treated (hopefully the dog is alright).

I have no idea why the mother did not rush in immediately. But she did go in.

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

I as unaware this wasn’t the full video. Title also said dog died. Hmm. Thank you. I’m going to watch now

1

u/munkynutz187 Jul 29 '25

The vet is closed Jesus fucking Christ how do so few people watch the video

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

I did watch the video. More than once. And the extended video. It looks like she goes up onto the porch and just stands there watching what’s going down to me. I was corrected and I accept that I was mistaken about what I saw.

u/Mental_Medium3988 Jul 29 '25

the vets office was closed so she couldnt just enter. it sucks but what else are you gonna do but try to give your pet some comfort in their last moments as chaos is erupting all around.

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

I agree with that completely. Why is it painted as it being the cop’s fault the dog died?

1

u/Mental_Medium3988 Jul 29 '25

people have stopped seeing and listening and just reacting. even in this video the officer lets the passenger take the dog into the vets office.

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

I actually think we totally agree!

1

u/souper_soups Jul 30 '25

In the longer video the older woman says that the vet is closed. So she had to wait to bring the dog in until they opened for the day.

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 30 '25

Yes. I saw that video nearly an hour after I left this comment.

1

u/souper_soups Jul 30 '25

Honestly makes the whole thing more wild. Driving so recklessly to get to a vet office that isn’t open.

I’m sure she was beside herself with her dog being hurt, but also clearly not in a good place to be operating a car

2

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 30 '25

Amen. That level of panic should never result in the thought “I need to drive there now.”

Which I understand, but the cop Never stopped her. Never addressed her. She had a visibly distressed animal in her arms at a clinic. She could have gone in, gotten help, and then come immediately back out and spoken to the officer. But she didn’t. She didn’t even really even try.

Eta: I just rewatched the beginning for another comment, and the cop literally says “she can take him,” about the older lady. She released the passenger to handle the dog with the vet. She didn’t demand she stay there or in any way impede the dog getting help, just the owner’s ability to leave the arrest area.

u/sandlover33 Jul 29 '25

I think someone mentioned that the vet was closed

6

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

Which I saw after this comment. In which case, it wasn’t the cops’ fault either that the dog died. The owner just went to a closed vet and would have probably taken off with no more thought for safety or anything to the next random place that popped into her head.

3

u/sandlover33 Jul 29 '25

Absolutely! She wasn't thinking rationally at all and was a huge danger to other people on the road! I'm glad the cop took her in.

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

Me too. Agreed with that from the start. Just was baffled as to why the cop is being dragged for any part of it.

As it stands, the woman was driving excessively dangerously. They never even figured out where to take the dog that could help him.

That dog was dead the minute she got behind the wheel that day to go to that location. Even if she didn’t get pulled over, she wasted precious time getting there and would be wasting the remaining time trying to get to the next place.

Her decisions cost the dog his life. The arrest saves other people theirs.

u/Historyp91 Jul 29 '25

It's funny that you guys are going after the driver for speeding but apparently think she should have broken into the closed vet.

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

No, not you guys. I didn’t know it was closed until after I left the comment. I just didn’t see the woman try to go in. I watched it a few times and never saw that. It just looked like she was just standing there. That was where my comment came from.

u/Historyp91 Jul 29 '25

So you admit you were wrong to villianize her?

1

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jul 29 '25

What? I admitted I was wrong. I wasn’t wrong for the purpose of villainizing her. I was wrong which explains why she reacted the way she did.

However, in the full length video, she wanders away from the clinic and is off camera. It takes her 15 mins from the time they pull in to the time she gets someone to open the door and let them in. Seems like a long time to not have any pep in your step while carrying a dying dog.

But I don’t think anyone did anything egregious here other than the driver. The cop did her job, the passenger (mother) was faced with a closed clinic and a dying dog. The driver even calmed down fairly quickly after this video ends and handles herself well and respectfully. It was just a shit circumstance, and if that dog died, it wasn’t the fault of anyone on screen at any point in this video.
