TEXARKANA, TX (KSLA) -
A police officer in Texarkana, TX has a message for people after getting a call Sunday morning for a dog people assumed was dangerous.

When the officer arrived he saw the dog lying on someone's front porch. He whistled for the dog and it came up to him wagging its tail, according to a Facebook post from the police department.

After petting the dog for a little while, it went right up to the officer's patrol unit, jumped in the front seat, and made himself at home.

Officer Frost says they just hung out together and took some pictures until an animal control officer got there.

In the Facebook post, Officer Frost went on to say while you should always be careful around any dog that you don’t know, you shouldn’t automatically assume that all pit bulls are bad dogs.

Well, this didn’t go quite like we thought it would.

After we got a vicious dog call this morning, Officer Travis Frost spotted the dog laying on someone’s front porch there. Travis said that he left the door of his patrol unit open so he could quickly jump back in if the dog was vicious and came after him. He whistled at the dog, who then came trotting over to him with his tail wagging. After Travis pet the dog for a minute, he went right up to the patrol unit, jumped in the front seat, and just made himself at home. Travis said they just hung out together and took some pictures until an Animal Control Officer got there.

Pit Bulls have a bit of a bad reputation. Travis said that, while you should always be careful around any dog that you don’t know, you shouldn’t automatically assume that all pit bulls are bad dogs. They might be really loving like this guy was this morning.
