“Why aren’t you answering your phone?” 📱 Is honestly a question I get asked so often. But the answer usually always is, because this is what my “office hours” actually look like. 🥴 People often wonder why ACO’s don’t respond to texts or calls right away. Even our own family and friends. Lol The truth is, our days are 100% unpredictable. In this clip, 13 aggressive dogs, who had just mauled an 82-year-old woman nearly to death, came charging down the stairs directly at us. What started as an animal attack call turned into an all-day operation that uncovered a severe elder abuse situation, leading to multiple arrests. Yes, I deal with aggressive dogs. And yes, this job is high-demand, high-stress, and rarely cut-and-dry. So to my family, friends, and anyone waiting on a call or text back: I’m sorry, I’m not ignoring you, I’m just busy. I’ll always get back to you when the dust settles! 🤞🏼🫠🐾 #fyp #animalcontrol #humor #dayinmylife #workingwithdogs
