Man Posts Photo of His Dog on Facebook— Then the Cops Show Up At His Door

When Dan Tillery of Michigan adopted his sweet dog, Diggy, he had no idea what was in store for the two of them.

He was happy to see his selfie with his pup go viral on Facebook, but what happened next stunned him and lead to major changes in Dan’s life, Diggy’s life and the laws of the town they both live in.

This picture seems innocent enough, right? Sadly, it is exactly the post that brought police to Dan’s door. But, he is just a loving dog-dad, not a criminal. What could this photo have done to have lead the cops to Dan’s door? The answer is odd, absurd and surprising.

A Dog in Desperate Need of a Home

This friendly young pup named Sir Wiggleton was brought to a shelter after being found abandoned on a street in a town in Michigan. The young dog was vibrant and full of energy with a fun loving streak.

What would happen next couldn’t have been expected, but one thing is for sure, this dog didn’t do anything wrong.

A Happy Couple Looking to Adopt

Dan Tillery and his girlfriend were looking to add another member to their happy little family, so they started looking at local animal shelters for a dog.

They knew they wanted a dog that was loving and fun to fit in with their active lifestyle so they set out to find a dog that would match their hopes.

But, they had no idea what would happen after they found the perfect dog…

He Waited 100 Days to Find an Owner

Sir Wiggleton was in need of a loving home. Although he was friendly and sweet, it took months in the Michigan animal shelter before he found the perfect home with his new owners.

Months seem like years to dogs, so he was ecstatic to end up with loving owners who gave him all of the love, exercise and cuddles he always wanted.

He Was Rescued From The Streets

Sir Wiggleton, later named Diggy by his new owner Dan, was lucky to be found on the streets after being stranded by whoever abandoned this beautiful dog.

Later, his owner Dan would find out why he was abandoned and it had nothing to do with the dog itself and everything to do with where they found the dog.
