How an American Reported His missing Dog at a Nigerian police station and the reply he got
The article on Nairaland about a missing Nigerian dwarf goat in United State which took the City’s Sheriff to share the post of the missing goat on his social media, reminds me of an incident that happened in my area some years ago.
There is this Yankee returnee who upon getting back to Nigeria decided to get himself a puppy to keep him company. He is often seen every evening walking with his dearest puppy.
So one day he got an emergency call and he needed to quickly rush out forgetting to lock his dearest puppy inside. As we may have it, the puppy escaped through the small opening under the gate.
When he came back , he asked neighbours for the whereabout of his dearest dog and no one saw the dog. After searching frantically for over 2 hours, he decided to go and report the case at the nearest police station .
So the following conversation ensued between the returnee and the police man on duty.

Yankee Man: Good afternoon , Kally is missing please send some of your men to come look for her she is really young and doesn’t know her way.
Police : Oga please cool down you will need to write a report to help us in our search.
Yankee Man: you don’t understand you need to come now, she is just a puppy please come.
Police Man : You mean puppy a dog? Woo! Woo!! Woo!!! (Police man barking like a dog)
Yankee Man: Yes please yes, she is just a 3 month old puppy , she isn’t safe out there
Police man : (Getting angry and furious) you mean your dog got lost and we should follow you to go and look for it?
Yankee Man : Yes , please hurry man ! She isn’t safe out there please.
Police man : please give me a second (went inside and came out with a 2 old looking photo album, opens the book, calls the Yankee man to come closer and said ) You see this one she got missing 5 years ago , we never see am , you see this one, they say he follow man go , it’s been over 3 years , we never see am, you see this one , he is just 12 years old , her mum sent her on errands and she never came back , just last month , we never see am, you see this last one , 4 year old cute boy, was playing in the compound with his mates and till today we are still looking for him. In this book I have over 50 reported cases of missing people in the last 5 years. So human beings lost we never see them, so we should leave our job and follow you to start looking for a common dog, not even a dog self ordinary puppy?
Yankee Man : No no it’s not a common dog it’s Kally , she is a really amazing dog.
Police : Oga you better leave her right now before I change my mind

Yankee Man: (Walks away almost crying)

Some of people later went to console the man that was almost crying as little drops of water was already visible in his eyes. Some were saying , it’s just a dog now , is that why you are now crying ? don’t worry you will buy another one while others were just abusing him not to go and marry and be carrying dogs up and down like a little kid.

In the spirit of the Democracy day. Show some love

How I wish it was a true story. But I don't think it's true because I can't imagine how anyone was able to get a transcript of the conversation.

Lies... With the way We worship Oyibo, the police men would happily follow him to search for the missing dog.

This is a true life story I was there live, the transcript is just a summary of the conversation as far as I can remember. This happened within an outskirt of Lagos around 2013.

Nobody said he was a white guy, the guy is a black Americana with Nigerian origin. Must have spent majority of his life abroad
