Heavily armed man abandons killing spree plans after encountering cute dog

CBC News:

:eek: :confused: :cool:

I’m glad no one was hurt.

Just goes to show you that if you have faith, Dog can help you.

[sub]Why, yes, I didn’t get much sleep last night. How’d you know?[/sub]

In about 2-3 weeks, this will be a glurge e-mail going aorund based on the fact that dog is God backwards.

I, for one, can’t wait.

I don’t know anything about psychology, but I guess my first guess would be that the guy wasn’t really going to do anything and used the dog as an excuse to stop and get help?

Maybe?

Main Entry: **Op·ti·mist **
Pronunciation: 'äp-t&-mist
Function: noun
Someone who thinks they’ll still be around to wield an air rifle and then a machete after shooting 6,296 residents of a major metropolis.

This is why I always carry a bag full of adorable kittens to throw at attackers.

Sounds like a Monty Python sketch.

You mean like a grenade?

Police-assisted psychotherapy?

Fortunately, it wasn’t Son of Sam’s dog.

So he puppied out?

We might be on to something here. The next time there’s a big crisis hostage situation or something like it, instead of calling out the SWAT team, maybe just hold up a cute puppy and say “Surrender, and we’ll let you play with our cute little puppy dog.” Who could resist?

I keep thinking some opportunistic political party could point to this as an example or “Regional Dissatisfaction with Central Canada” or maybe Im just being cynical and macabre.

Uh, and I know this isn’t the forum for political debate, but I do kind of have a twisted sense of humour.

He just needed a big slobbery doggie kiss.

“Mr. Mayor, we have a hostage situation!”

“Okay, better call in the S.P.A.T. team.”

Give that dog a medal!

C’mere baby, gimme kiss! Who’s a good dog? Who’s a good dog?

Some quotes from a detective, obtained from another news story:

Man. That dog had better be getting premium dog food for LIFE after this. LIFE.

From the OP’s link:

Just glad someone as out-there as this guy is out-there enough to be dissuaded by a cute puppy with a frisbee.

I hope they let him have a dog in the loony bin.

The guy went to the Water Filtration Plant near Queen street in the Beaches to find people to shoot? He’s lucky he even ran into a puppy there… Used to walk my dogs there and probably met 2 people in all the times I went there…

This is like a Bizarro World version of Goin’ Down the Road
