'Intelligent Dog' Sets Off Kennel Burglar Alarm After Hours: Cops

WAUKESHA, WI -- Waukesha police responded to Camp Bow Wow, 1707 Paramount Court just before 2 a.m. on a report of a burglar alarm.

But according to Waukesha police logs, this alarm was of the four-legged variety.

When police arrived on the scene, the responding officer said they saw that there was an audible motion alarm sounding, and also a dog running around inside.

Police say a dog by the name of Finn managed to free himself from his private cage. Finn, who is described in the log as an "intelligent dog," then pulled down the latch while pulling open the door to access the main lobby of the business.

Finn's maneuver tripped an alarm, police said. The alarm was deactivated and the dog was returned to his cage.
