Although 2020 was a gloomy year with the Covid-19 pandemic and natural disasters, the adorable, unexpected story of the dog below warmed our hearts and sometimes made us laugh.
When someone is arrested, it is not uncommon for someone to go to the police station to post bail or ask for the person to be released. The story of a man in the Dominican Republic in October made headlines when the object of his anxious attention when he was arrested was a dog. In mid-October 2020, the man was arrested for violating a curfew imposed to limit the spread of Covid-19.
According to Times Now News , the police released the man earlier than expected due to the dog’s enthusiastic attitude. As seen in the video posted on social media, the dog ran into the police station, entangled with its owner. Upon witnessing the dog’s attachment to its owner, the police decided to release the man.

“Do you know why I let him go? Because anyone could have come here and the dog came and told me that it was its owner. This is the first time I have handed over a prisoner to a dog,” said police officer José Francisco de la Cruz Mercedes.
For his part, the arrested man also promised not to reoffend.
