Candice Salvatore Called 911 To Report 'Abandoned Baby' - A Puppy Baby: Police
Police in Staten Island, N.Y. received a call from a woman Tuesday afternoon reporting an "abandoned baby" outside her home, and were less than amused when they discovered it was an abandoned baby pit bull.
Candice A. Salvatore, who made the 911 call, told the Staten Island Advance that she frequently refers to animals as "babies."
"I wasn't thinking that they would think it was an actual infant," the 27-year-old told the Advance. "I didn't tell her it was a human baby. I just said it was a baby."
The police report, however, quotes Salvatore as saying she called the animal a "baby" because "I needed to spice it up to get you guys to come faster.
