@frost I don't think that'll be too much of a problem; they'll check over the dog, and if the dog really *is* dead, clearing the body away is their job, and if the dog's alive they'll get it to a shelter of some sort because that part *isn't* something they can really do well. Either way once called in, they're going to do something.

@frost Glad you made it back okay. Again, thanks for taking the hit of checking on them and calling it in.

People in fiction deal are okay dealing with dead bodies all the time because they're *people in fiction*. Trust me on this one, I've seen how many dead people of various species over the years? I'm still not always cool with it.

@frost There *are* folks who are assholes, but there are also people who just panic when stuff like that happens - are they gonna be in trouble, is their car in good shape to make it back, etc. It's possible they were the ones who got the dog to the sidewalk; it's also possible the dog managed to get to the sidewalk on their own.

@frost they're the police, they're the guys who make an exorbitant salary because they're supposedly the professionals, they can do it. Also this is already a scary enough situation with some OPD dudes scaring the fuck out of you.

@frost Okay, get home as soon as you're clear of this? You did the right thing, I'm very proud of you. Thank you.

@frost Nope. 911 is human emergencies only. Stick with animal control, and don't try to move them - they're either dead and that could be bad for you, or they're still alive and that could be bad for them.

@frost Okay, call them and get yourself home before it gets too cold out, since you're gonna need time to ease down from this and that's better where it's warm.

@frost yeah, 510-777-3333 or (510) 535-5602 seems listed for Oakland

@frost Hm, this is fairly new on me. I'm *tempted* to say put hand in front of their nose and check for breathing that way, but that might also be a good way to get bitten at. I think it might be a good idea to call animal control in case.

@frost check to see if their rib cage is moving, and call for help if it's not?
