Missing Puppy Walks Into Police Station To Report Himself Lost
Odessa had a very unusual call, and it did not come from a frantic neighbor or a late-night alarm. It came from a German Shepherd named Chico, who somehow decided the best place to solve his problem was the Odessa Police Department.
Chico ran away from home in the middle of the night, then calmly walked in to report himself lost. The officers noticed he was friendly, but they still had to figure out who he belonged to, and how a dog even ends up at a police station before animal control shows up.
And then Chico made the whole thing even more mysterious by leaving before anyone could catch him.

The officers, despite the pup's friendly demeanor, were curious about his identity.
