Boettcher, an ARMY veteran and former law enforcement officer owns Bubba. The dog has been this man’s companion for more than ten years and the pet owner has always taken good care of his pet. However, Boettcher is facing tough financial times and after Bubba got injured he couldn’t afford treatment.

Instead of reporting Boettcher and taking his pet away, officer Kline did something else. He contacted the Kansas Humane Society to see if they could do something to help Bubba and his veteran owner.

“I understand that there are people that are down on their luck, that are having a hard time. There’s a difference between people that just obviously don’t care about their animals,” Kline told KAKE News. “Then there’s people like Bill here that are doing their best with what they have, to care for their animals, and sometimes they just need a little extra help.”

The Kansas Humane Society examined Bubba and determined the leg injury is serious. The best they could to help the dog is amputate the leg. All services are being donated by the staff at the Humane Society and Boettcher does not have to pay a dime. Bubba is schedule for surgery on Tuesday, May 26, 2015.

What started as an animal neglect case ended with an officer helping a pet and his owner in need. Not all pet owners are as caring and dedicated as Boettcher, and when those pet owners fall on harsh times its good to know there are people out there willing to lend a hand instead of judging them.

The video of Ramon chasing the bus was posted on YouTube by a bus passenger. The camera man spotted the pet running desperately after the bus and pawing at the public vehicle at different stops. The dog begged to be let in but the bus driver kept denying him access.

The video is approximately five minutes longs and it shows how Ramon came close to losing his life while he ran through heavy intersections and along side other vehicles. At one point, the dog can’t keep up with the bus and gets lost in the distance, but seconds later he resurfaces right along side the bus.


The man recording the event asks if the dog belongs to anyone on the bus, and after his owner is identified, passengers beg the driver to let the dog in.
Fortunately the driver agrees and the dog is reunited with his owner. The pet get a free bus ride too.
