Mayor scales ladder to 'rescue' sunbathing dog

BROWNSVILLE, Texas — A South Texas mayor became so concerned about reports of a Great Dane being stuck on a second-story balcony that he alerted emergency workers, went to the location himself, scaled a fire department ladder and entered the apartment to help the dog.

After all of the things he has done with animals trying to "help" them, and he is still mayor.

Shouldn't he have tried the main door before he climbed in through the balcony. Wouldn't it have been better and easier to walk up the stairs and knock on the door instead of climbing up a ladder and walking into someone's house while they are home

Good one, Capt.

I would have been similarly annoyed if someone pulled a stunt like that at my house.

That guy needs help.

I think a padded room wearing a white gown is in order.

With it being Texas, the mayor is lucky he did not get shot.. If I catch someone coming through my second floor balcony I am going to assume he is up to no good, and take appropriate action.
