Man Posts Selfie With His Dog, Officers Show Up To His Door

He posted a photograph of himself with his new dog online and added a short caption. He hit the “share” button without giving it a second thought. Soon, the comments started pouring in. His face lit up with a smile.

But he was unaware that the harm had already been done. Police were already on their way after receiving a call about Dan’s dog. They would soon be banging on Dan’s door.

Making A Home

After years of hard work as a musician, Dan Tillery and his wife Megan finally purchased their first home in Waterford Township, Michigan, in June 2016. But home is never complete without a man’s best friend.

The couple decided to adopt a dog soon after moving in. But they had no idea they were signing up for a world of hurt.

Their First House

Dan explained, “My girlfriend and I always wanted a dog, but the place we rented didn’t allow dogs.

We recently bought our first home.”

“…All ours. Dogs are allowed too,” Dan gushed to the Oakland Press later that month. But as it turned out, not all dogs were allowed.

The Shelter

Not long after moving in, Dan met Sir Wiggleton, a loveable two-year-old American bulldog, at Detroit Dog Rescue.

The shelter took in Sir Wiggleton after being discovered abandoned and hungry on the streets of Detroit, Michigan. He remained there for about 100 days.

Meeting Sir Wiggleton

It was love at first sight for both Dan and Sir Wiggleton. An image of the dog with his mouth dangling out of his mouth and his head cocked to the side won Dan’s heart.

Dan agreed to adopt him without hesitation and renamed him Diggy. Everything appeared above board and legal at the time.
