No Animal Control
As the passengers became more upset and expressed their concerns, the station’s officials urgently assembled to discuss potential solutions. After recognizing the enormity of the situation, they rapidly chose to contact animal control. They hoped that the professionals on hand could help alleviate the mounting stress. Nonetheless, there was a setback; the station quickly discovered that animal control was severely understaffed due to unforeseeable circumstances. This was a significant setback.
Regrettably, the earliest possible arrival time for assistance was estimated to be at least another hour away. As the minutes ticked by, each second felt like an eternity, intensifying the frustration and impatience among the passengers.
Calling the Cops
The only other choice I had in that moment was to contact the local police department. It seemed quite absurd to seek assistance from the police to capture or chase away a stray puppy, but as time went on, the delay caused by this playful little creature would only escalate. Not only would it continue to disrupt the train traffic, but it would also lead to significant financial implications.
Every minute that went by resulted in additional funds being spent on finding a solution to this problem, and it became increasingly obvious that this issue required a solution as quickly as possible.
