Giant Dog Refused to Leave Dollar Store

Bradenton Florida police were called out to assist store clerks in removing a 135-pound dog who refused to leave! Workers at the store needed to close up and couldn’t lock the doors with the dog inside. Taking the dog, whose name they later found out is Bentley, out of the store proved to be a challenge. The ties the first officer on the scene tried to use just weren’t big enough for him. Thankfully, Bentley had a microchip, which successfully reunited him with his family.

[@ellaa4102]

well except when they roll up and shoot someones dog for no apparent reason aside from "just because"

[@oxzce]

do you understand that they're trained to deal with people a certain way and none of that training would make sense on a dog? 🙂

[@earthwormjim420]

@pary Just as cringe to be as anti cop as you IMO

[@kjen08]

if the dog was black it wouldve been a different story headline. "Police shoot and kill dog in dollar store."

[@69420fart]

God i hate how much people batch up cops with the bad ones, people who do that aren't any better then the racists who do exactly that.

[@clarewelter2207]

What a sweetheart!!

[@digitalsoldier3894]

God Bless this beautiful Pooch ❤

[@toxic9695]

This is just too wholesome ,I'm glad cops knew how to handle him, dog is friendly and seems well-trained. The owners did so well at raising this baby! 💕

[@eastport839]

There’s no need to know how to handle any friendly dog lol they’re just there and will basically accept anything you want to do (getting them out)

[@deeznutsifier69420]

I would be so happy if a random dog this big and sweet came into my store and wouldn't leave. He'd become the mascot

[@atomicplaygirl66]

The 🤍 on his back! ❤❤❤

[@Ice0472]

Aww Its so nice how the store worker was scared if the dog would get hurt if they just put him outside.

[@chumchum4393]

This made my day! Kudos to the store manager and law-enforcement…

[@mikeg3728]

What a sweetheart!

[@Nugire]

Dog wanted to raise attention to how terrible dollar stores treat their employes.

IN THE INSIDE, IT'S COMPLETELY DRYY

[@aftersolo]

I'm just scrolling through videos, and this pops up. Now I'm crying. Lost my dog Solo about a year ago. He was 135 lbs of just absolute kindness and everybody loved him. Only made it to 7. Love you big dummy and I miss you. I quit drinking after he died. 20 years of life I missed. My dude died so I could be free.

[@chinalebeau8021]

That is powerful. Solo is still taking care of you and watching out for you 🥰❤️

[@chinalebeau8021]

And congrats on sobriety!! That’s amazing!! Solo is proud!!

[@feeglesnorf9351]

Thank you for sharing, much love to Solo ❤

[@wishstar6268]

May Solo rest in peace and quiet, congratulations on being sober

[@aftersolo]

@wishstar6268 Thankyou. 2 years sober this Wednesday.

[@craig2196]

I'm just glad the ATF wasn't called within a mile radius.

[@davidhelmedrummer2004]

I hope he has a good family taking care of him :)

[@codywhite2911]

I just love how the officers aren't even mad about having to deal with a dog let alone a large one that can be hard to maneuver out, but Bentley definitely is one of the greatest good boy's, kuddos to the officers as well!

[@banditdoggo]

Who would be mad about moving that dog?

[@codywhite2911]

@@banditdoggo You'd be surprised

[@rexman971]

Yeah I'm surprised he wasn't shot.

[@29GERRARD29]

@@banditdoggo most cops would just shoot it on site

[@orbitalbutt6757]

Yeah, it’s a real rarity that not one but three whole-ass cops saw a harmless dog and didn’t immediately gun it down

[@chigginnuggie7681]

He should be the mascot of that store.

[@aldckenz]

Lol ya

It was a Dollar General, that dog is way too good for that store

[@user-ij2yg4ol7g]

He blessed that store God bless him and the store❤

[@YungC0]

I’m REALLY glad they reacted this way.

[@caramellpanda]

Reminds me of our local Tesco cat named Spartacus! His home is right across from the store but he likes to hang out in Tesco in his designated cat bed until night time when he decides to go home. His family and the store manager have told people not to feed him because he’s well looked after and they don’t want him getting too chubby! 🥺😭❤️

[@sanduniliyanage8641]

Which Tesco is this I will literally drive there to see him 😭💀

[@Mimi2thebestboysever]

How sweet!!!

[@gachamaking6515]

Finally some good news on news channels

[@Madcatdave]

Bentley seems like a perfect name for a dog that size. He’s a good boy too

[@kaelynnydia]

i love that the workers knew he had to be someone’s and they were worried abt locking him out at night alone, so caring ❤️

[@Edgar_diaz123]

You can tell these officers were absolutely delighted to be able to get a sweet break and finally have a wholesome time

[@DarthSidian]

He was just happy to be here. Can definitely imagine his owner was surprised that he was out and about, though.

[@lastminutewonder9602]

The cops were so kind!

[@BrandyD1777]

Definitely the size of a Bentley. Blessings to the owners who used the microchip....trained him, he is well behaved around strangers, clean....GENTLE GIANT 🐾🐾

[@zackv3957]

Good on the owner for worrying about the dog's well-being and not just throwing it out on the street.

[@AI-Creations-LLC]

Protect him at all costs he seems like the sweetest dog.
