These dogs were arrested for crimes they didn't commit

Most dogs commit a few crimes in their life - chewing your favorite pillow, stealing your socks, harassing government employees carrying documents protected by the federal government (barking at the mailman)... to name a few. But these are some dogs that faced time for their crimes.

Bean the pug

Bean the pug committed the crime of running away from home. While she was on the run a police officer happened to notice her in a yard she did not belong to. Officer Michael LeSage tried to get her to hop into his car but her legs were way too short and he had to lift her. They posted the dog's mugshot on facebook and her owner came by a few hours later to pay her bail. According to the officers, Bean’s bail was paid in cookies. 

Pep the Dog

Pep was a good natured dog according to all of his friends. But one summer day his owner, Governor Pinchot, was desperate to get rid of him. Desperate, the governor accused him of the murder of a cat. Pep was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison. Pep never murdered a cat. However, his real crime consisted of chewing up the Governor's favorite sofa. Pep was everyone’s favorite inmate at the SCI Graterford prison. He helped many inmates calm down and lived a happy life. 

Sam the Pitbull

Sam was rescued from an abusive situation in the year 2020. Sam was adorable but she did not know how to use her manners and was very skittish. Sam was never arrested but she was sent to the Rochester FCI and paired with an inmate. The inmate trained her and she was their full time best friend for a few years. Not only did the inmate train Sam to be the best behaved, Sam helped the inmate rehabilitate and help their mental health.

They do not have a distinct unique feature that occurs among all since most are mutts. However, most Honduran street dogs have pointy noses and chipped ears. They are a lot like the domestic dogs we own except they roam free and have a striking independence. Experts believe these dogs are very similar to the ancient dogs that lived alongside humans almost 15,000 years ago.         Temperament and personalities of Honduran street dogs Dogs native to Honduras are adaptable and intelligent since they must fend for themselves.

Due to the language barrier, I had to have his owners translate. Mancho is a dog who came from the village of Sambo Creek, Honduras. He is roughly 60 years old, which is 10 in human years. According to his owner his favorite hobbies are stealing whole sheets of cookies, chasing seagulls, singing, and sun tanning. He also enjoys farting really loudly and then leaving the room once he can smell his own fart. Mancho is just like any other dog I’ve ever met except for one thing: he has one of the most interesting lives that I’ve ever known. Today, his daily life is very boujee. He wakes up to dry kibble and leftover pasta. Following, he demands
