🐶 Ever wonder why dogs love to roll in the grossest things they find in the grass?

It’s not just to test our patience! Here are a few reasons:
👉 Instinct — their wolf ancestors used strong odors to mask their scent while hunting.
👉 Communication — rolling in smells may be a way of “bringing the news” back to the pack.
👉 Personal perfume — some dogs just like wearing a bold new scent.
👉 Fun factor — sometimes it just feels good!

So the next time your pup comes back smelling suspicious… remember, in their world, it makes perfect sense. 😉

Way to go, TPD!

Puppy Rescue

Today at 5:40 PM, we received a call about a puppy that had been stolen from its yard. The dog's owner spotted an unknown woman grabbing his puppy and immediately contacted us.

Thanks to the quick response from our Ida Squad Officers, we were able to gather information and track down the suspect’s address. After a brief investigation, we located the puppy and brought it safely home!

The look of relief on the owner’s face when they were reunited with their furry friend was priceless. A big thank you to our officers for their hard work in bringing this puppy back where it belongs!

Remember, if you see anything suspicious, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!
