‘COME GET HIM, LIKE NOW': N.Y. police beg ‘bitey' dog's owner to collect lost pet
A New York police department found themselves with more trouble than they expected after a lost dog was reported wandering the streets. However, unlike many dogs looking for attention, this little guy was not — and showed officers just how unfriendly he actually was. 'Bitey McBiterton was found wandering on Sarah Street off North Malcolm Street,' the Ossining Police Department's brilliant social media staff wrote in a Facebook post over the weekend. 'Our Officers are unsure if Bitey is male or female, and aren't keen on checking,' they added. 'If you recognize this super friendly pup, tell their owners to come get them, like now. Thanks.' The Ossining Police Department — located about 65 kilometres north of New York City — shared a photo of the small white dog they dubbed 'Bitey,' as it snarled at the camera. In an update shared shortly after the post, police hilariously confirmed that Bitey's owner had come to collect him. 'Bitey Update: Bitey has been returned to his owners,' the department wrote. 'Return to your regular scheduled sunny, but cold Sunday.' They added: 'Let's go Spring, get it together.' Many commenters had plenty to say about the grumpy pup. 'It's always the white crusty-eyed ones,' one commenter wrote, while another added, 'And he would do it again, that dog has zero regrets.' One person joked (we hope), 'You can't blame him. When the cops pick me up, I want to bite them too.' However, most people wrote in to applaud the author of the post, with commenters coming in from all over the U.S., Canada and even Spain.

A third person added: 'Alright alright #clickbaitdoneright here. (I don't even f***ing know) where Ossining is yet here I fawking am! Reporting for duty to see content.'

A police department in New York state found itself jokingly begging for a surly lost dog's owner to collect their pet, who officers nicknamed "Bitey McBiterton." In a hilarious Facebook post shared on Saturday, March 22, the Ossining Police Department — located about 30 miles north of New York City — shared a photo of "Bitey," a small white dog, giving a snarl to the camera and information about how the owner can find them. "Bitey McBiterton was found wandering on Sarah Street off North Malcolm Street," the department wrote. "Our Officers are unsure if Bitey is male or female and aren't keen on checking. If you recognize this super friendly pup, tell their owners to come get them, like now. Thanks." In an update shared soon after, police humorously confirmed that Bitey's owner had come to collect them. "Bitey Update: Bitey has been returned to his owners," Ossining police wrote.

Wildfires: 'We Are in Love' A similar incident with a not-so-friendly pup took place a bit further north in New York state in 2023 when the SPCA in Niagara Falls, N.Y. shared a Facebook post seeking a home for a 26-pound "demon" French bulldog named Ralphie, who the rescue described as "fire-breathing" and "a whole jerk- not even half." The French bulldog rocketed to fame in January when the Niagara SPCA shared a Facebook post looking for an experienced owner for the black-and-white canine. Although Ralphie found a home in February, he was brought back to the shelter two weeks later when he "proved to be more than she [the owner] could handle," Niagara SPCA wrote on social media at the time. Before restarting the search for a home, Ralphie completed a six-week training program with a local organization, YourEveryDayK9. After the French bulldog aced training, he was adopted by someone Niagara SPCA called Ralphie's "perfect adopter" on Facebook. "He trusts me now," the adopter told PEOPLE soon after. "There's a lot of trust. I gave him a bath the other day. I clean his eyes every day now. So I can move him, I can squeeze him, I can roughhouse with him. He's completely normal with me now. A lot of it is just giving him time and understanding that his biting behavior was a remnant from his past." Read the original article on People
