Dog pretends to be burglar; terrifies owner

A successful prank by Maya, the yellow lab

Imagine you are sitting around the house by yourself, when your cell phone rings. You pick it up, check the display, and discover that the call is coming from your home's land line. Unnerved, you answer the call. On the other end of the line you hear banging and scratching noises.

How scared would you be? Personally, I would be terrified. But this is the very scenario which dog owner Bruce Gardner of Orem, UT faced. Gardner assumed that a mentally disturbed burglar was in his home playing a prank, so he did the sensible thing: he dialed 911. 
 
When police arrived, they investigated the situation thoroughly but were unable to find any signs of a break-in or any other untoward events. Puzzled, the police finally left. It wasn't until several hours later that Gardner was able to identify the culprit: his dog Maya.
