Police were quite serious
However, when the police arrived, most of the passengers who had been waiting impatiently were put at ease. They were clearly taking this seriously. They arrived with four fit-looking cops, fully armed with capture nets and a cage to lock the puppy in.
A matter of time
It was only a matter of time before they snatched the puppy. They immediately cornered and caught the homeless puppy in one of their nets. The animal squealed and trashed around as much as it could, but it didn’t help.
