A 16-year-old student was attacked by a police dog that started howling loudly. When the authorities collected the girl’s fingerprints, they found something horrific.
It was planned to have a safety “open lesson” at City High School No. 17. Parents, instructors, and senior students gathered in the auditorium. They invited a police dog handler and his German Shepherd assistance dog, Rex.
Together with Rex, the uniformed officer strode onto the platform. Although the dog was placid and perhaps a little lethargic, he was continually looking about the room as he walked quietly next to him. The pupils whispered to one another and looked at one another.
The officer grinned and continued, “This is not just a dog; he is my partner.” He also doesn’t make any mistakes.
He gave some examples of his commands: Rex even lay down next to someone who had a specific marker in their pocket and discovered a phony weapon concealed in a rucksack. The kids gave a clap.
But all of a sudden, things changed.
Rex felt acutely aware as the officer was ready to conclude the demonstration. The hair on his neck stood on edge, and his ears pricked up. He froze, looking out at the students. Then he growled and sprang forward.
“Hey, Rex! The handler yelled, “Stop!” but the dog refused to comply.
With a loud bark, the German Shepherd sprang at a girl in the third row. Marie was a quiet, modest student who typically sat in the rear rows. She held a notebook to her chest as she stood beside her companions today. She initially appeared to be a shy, typical girl.
However, Rex was rushing toward her as though he had lost his mind. He bared his teeth, snarled, and then leaped on her, causing her to fall to the ground. Panic broke out, the notebook flew, and the girl shouted. The educators attempted to yank the dog away.
“Go, Rex! The handler yelled, “Lie down!” and grabbed the Shepherd’s collar, barely pulling it back. However, the dog continued to stare at Marie.
The officer was taken aback:
“He never acts in such a way without cause… never.”
The pupil was shaking, tears welling up in her eyes. Everyone thought the scents had been mixed up by the dog. However, the officer emphasized:
“Miss, I need you to accompany me to the station with your parents. Something needs to be checked.
The dog persisted in growling despite the parents’ protests, in which they yelled about “shame on the whole class,” and it was useless to argue with his instincts.
The girl’s fingerprints were collected when she got to the station. The officers were then appalled. The computer displayed a match.
A lady listed on the federal database of wanted criminals was the owner of the prints.
Slowly, the officer turned to face the quivering “student”:
“Should I read the file or do you want to tell it yourself?”
After taking a big breath, the girl’s entire face abruptly altered. She changed from a shy, scared schoolgirl to a chilly, mature woman with too much life in her eyes.
“All right,” she murmured in a quiet, assured tone, “enough playing.”
She was actually thirty years old, not sixteen, and her true name was Anna. She still had the petite physique, juvenile facial features, and thin voice of an adolescent because of a rare genetic disease.
Anna had been residing in various cities and evading the authorities for a number of years. Robberies, fraud, and jewelry theft were all included in her file.
Fingerprints had been discovered in residences, on doorknobs, and on safes. However, she managed to elude capture each time since nobody could accept that a “teenage girl” was responsible for the crimes.
She lived with families while pretending to be an orphan, went to various schools, and changed her name frequently. The fact that an adult woman was seated among the kids went unnoticed.
She grinned and said, “No one would have recognized me.” “If not for your fucking dog.”
“You see, Anna,” he continued icily, “people are fallible. But never, my partner.
