Pooch Accidentally Paws Fire Alarm at IA Doggie Day Care

Dec. 7, 2022
Grimes firefighters received an apology letter from Birdie.

Sometimes you are just so excited you just can't contain it.

And, that's just what happened to Birdie when she got to doggie day camp. 

"She just arrived for day camp and was just bouncing around and bounced into the fire alarm, pushed it in, pulled it down and that was it," Jessica Tapper, owner of Dogwoods Lodge, told KCCI. 

Video footage shows Birdie jumping and pawing the alarm, prompting a visit from Grimes firefighters.

While some of her playmates were freaking out, Birdie didn't seem to mind at all.

As punishment, Birdie had to "paws" and think about what she did.

She also wore an apology around her neck, which reads, "Dear Grimes Fire Department, I'm sorry that I pulled the fire alarm today. Sincerely, Birdie."

Reporters noted that firefighters have forgiven Birdie.

And, she's also very excited that she's allowed to return to play.
