Police Report: Dog, Drunk Man Both Have Trouble Finding Their Way Home

It was 3:42 a.m. Monday when a resident in the 6000 block of North Bay Ridge Avenue called the police after hearing a noise at the door.

Responding to what was initially thought to be a home entry, Whitefish Bay police arrived and determined that a dog was "slamming into the rear patio door glass." The dog used to live at the house and was apparently trying to find its way in to its old home.

Police called the dog's owner to return to her former house and take the dog. She was also cited for dog at large.
