You are correct about the transport policy. In this type situation, we always had an ambulance transport with our assistance. I think the officers should have used more discretion and compassion.
Tril - I hope you get your new dog. If not, I have a turtle I will let you adopt. He is very sweet and doesn't get in the way. Doesn't eat much either. Now that I think about it, he hasn't eaten anything in a few years. Hmmm????
