I thought my night was eventful

My mom just emailed me the events from my parents early morning adventure

"Dad and I had a heart racing experience this morning. Both of us were sound asleep and the phone rings beside the bed around 3 am, my first thought Grandmommy but it was Cousin J. He was scared and could hardly talk. He was in the bathroom and heard someone break the window in his bedroom. He called the police and then called us saying someone was breaking into his house, to please come down quick. Well unfortunately Dad and I can only move so fast, especially poor Daddy but as quick as we could we threw on clothes, Dad got his gun and as we got out of the garage a police officer was in our drive way, we saw 2 cars w/lights going down Joshua’s drive and another one was in Mr. Neighbors drive. We followed the police down to Cousin J’s and waited on the porch outside the kitchen until we could talk to someone. They asked who we were and we said the uncle and aunt who live up the hill, and asked about Cousin J. He was fine just scared.

The man and his dog were on the floor in the kitchen, he was bleeding from climbing in through the broken window and drunk possibly high on something and whining first that he was beat up, then his story was he had been in a car wreck and his dog had gotten away from him and crashed through the window, then his story was his dog had gotten away and he was chasing it when someone grabbed him and started beating him up and that was why he had broken the window to get into the house. Like I said the guy was not making sense just making up good stories.

Cousin J has a roommate who moved in after Christmas a really nice young man. He was in J’s old bedroom when all the action started and he had called the police as well. He had moved to J’s because his apartment on the other side of Charlotte had been broken into while he was home. We left when after making sure J was OK and the police were taking care of the culprit and his poor dog. A really sweet grey and white small Pit bull, this dog looked embarrassed and confused as to what was going on and the mess his owner had gotten them in. He was taken to the pound.

As we were leaving the first responders and ambulance arrived to deal w/the man’s injuries, we don’t know if they had to take him to the hospital or straight to jail. Uncle S and Aunt C made record time getting to Charlotte.
Don’t know why this guy would choose their house for this break in, but the police seem to think the car wreck part of his story could be connected with the wrecked car they had found a few streets over with a warm engine. They had already been looking for the driver which was why the K-9 unit was already on the scene."

OK first I'm glad my cousin is ok. That would have completely freaked most people out. Second, I'm upset about the dog. Because of the type of breed I'm pretty sure they won't allow the dog to be adopted out and that totally hurts my feelings. Because the dog's owner is incompetent the dog may be put down and that is just WRONG.
