http://www.thestar.com/news/world/a...ike-lion-sets-off-panic-911-calls-in-virginia
A dog that has been shaved to look like a lion set off a panic in Norfolk, Virginia this week.
On Tuesday, three 911 calls came in reporting a lion wandering the streets.
It’s “roaming loose in the neighbourhood a few blocks from the zoo,” one caller reported to the 911 dispatcher at 10:19 a.m.
Five minutes later, a second caller seemed confused, reporting an animal looking like a small lion. “It had the mane and everything.”
A third call, at 1:19 p.m., reported a “baby lion” wandering loose around nearby houses.
The animal was walking around , but “I don’t think it has caused any problems so far,” the caller added.
The dispatcher asked: “Was it by itself?” and later, “Do you think it was looking for food?”
After the 911 calls, Norfolk police called the Virginia Zoo to make sure its lions were all accounted for.
