COPS: Rochester, NY
This week on COPS:
After midnight on a Fourth of July weekend Saturday, Officers Lyons and Costello respond to calls complaining of a loud television and barking dog at an otherwise quiet and orderly apartment building.
They arrive at apartment four to find the door unlocked, no one home, all the lights on, all the windows open, and, echoing through the courtyard and clearly audible out at the street, the baseball game on TV and an enormous St. Bernard barking non-stop.
They retreat, making apologies to angry residents that they will not enter the apartment with a very large and potentially dangerous animal inside and no tenant to confront.
Later, the residents applaud Harry, the complexs painter, for enduring a furious licking and gallons of slobber when making the daring entry to turn off the television and close the windows.
Still, residents lie awake for hours with the dog barking thunderously through the walls.
