CLEARWATER, Fla. — A Clearwater resident had to summon police after a dog jumped into his car and "staged a sit-in," according to the Clearwater Police Department.
In a Facebook post, police said the dog jumped into the person's car Saturday afternoon at a Publix at Belcher and Sunset Point. Officers were reportedly able to coax the dog out with a leash and treats provided by Publix employees before taking it to a local veterinarian to be checked out.
"Call this a case of canine carjacking," Clearwater officers said in the Facebook post.
The dog had a chip but no corresponding information, police said.
