The Editor,
I’m writing to praise the wonderful Coquitlam RCMP officers in Port Coquitlam who saved the day for a distressed and frightened large dog that was alone and crying for hours in a strip mall early Sunday morning. The fine officers also saved the day for a few of us local residents who were so afraid for the dog’s safety and welfare.
The dog was very defensive when any of us tried to approach it to help because it was obviously frightened of people.
The officers patiently and professionally, with kindness and gentle handling, eventually got the dog safely into the police car and took it to the kennel to be cared for.
Kudos to those great Mounties. They are heroes.
Also, thanks to the woman who took action by phoning to get help for the dog and did the right thing. We need more people like her in our community.
