D.C. officer has unexpected pit bull encounter

Star did exactly what you're supposed to do when you get lost. She found a police officer.

It was about midnight. D.C. police Sgt. James Black was stopped at a red light at 42nd Street and Benning Road NE, when suddenly a dog leapt through the open window of his unmarked cruiser.

The dark-colored female pit bull jumped on his lap -- and began licking his face.

"I went from being startled to laughing," said Black, who has spent 15 years on the force.

Scott Giacoppo, vice president of the Washington Humane Society, said he's never heard of a dog jumping into a police car for help. But "sometimes a dog senses when there are people who can help them," he said. "It's a sixth sense."

Lot's of cowards in badges out there.

3. About "pit bulls."

A friend of mine has two, and had one that passed away..
All three were extremely friendly, would never, never bite you.
She has/had all three from puppys and I have known them..basically, they are food moochers..always looking for food..but..they are kind, and yes, you can pet them andyes, they love it..in between looking for food scraps..

The neighbor down the way has one...same thing..also as kind as other dogs.....just wanted add a point of view about that breed that gets so much bad press..
