«Hey, you two! «You need to go home right now!» shouted Jamie. «Come on, go inside!» Then she opened the front door and let the dogs board the bus. After that, she contacted MCTS dispatchers to inform them of her unusual situation.
Jamie sat down and played with the dogs until a policeman approached them. He took them to the Milwaukee Area Pet Control Commission, the only facility in the area that accepts stray dogs.
