Dog rescued from cannabis factory in Wolverhampton
A dog has been rescued from a cannabis factory in Wolverhampton despite nearly being Tasered by police.
The Yorkshire terrier was found in a house in Dilloways Lane in Portobello by officers who were looking for the culprits.
The pup was found with injuries to his paws from broken glass – and nicknamed Don Pablo by the officers from West Midlands' Force Response after drug lord Pablo Escobar.
A tweet from the force said: "Almost was a different story entirely.
"He was lurking in the dark when we were looking for violent thugs and nearly got Tasered – scared us half to death.
"Then when the torch light lit him up we were like 'Awwww'."
The wounded animal is now in the care of vets.
A spokeswoman for the force said: "Cannabis plants were found at a property in Dilloways Lane, Wolverhampton just after 10.30pm on February 21.
"Enquiries are on-going."
