Good call on the officer's part. Given seconds to analyze the situation, he made the right call even if the dog did have to bite. I am glad it didn't come to that.

I absolutely agree. K9 units are completely underappreciated. How neat that this law enforcement agency worked it out with the community to use dogs in mental health situations as well as criminal situations. Perhaps other communities will take note and think outside of their box for K9 unit use.

I wonder if the teen had a pet if he would have been so low as to try to take his own life. I really think dogs, cats and other pets help folks with depression. Glad to see a death was prevented.

I havae no doubt the dog "sensed" the emotions of the teenager - Good job Cesar

It does seem possible that the dog did understand the situation and worked not to hurt the boy when he grabbed him. Good job all round.

Honestly, the kid is lucky that the dog grabbed him, so the police officer could catch him. If he'd jumped off the overpass, he would have been dead, so a scratch on the leg and a chance for counseling and other mental health services is a great second chance. Caesar did an excellent job of not seriously hurting the young man, too, especially with limited work experience.

Good reasoning on the cop's part. Had the kid jumped onto the freeway he would not have only killed himself but probably killed a few others as he caused a multi car pile up.

Cool story with a happy ending. I hope that the boy gets some help. I admire police dogs but I don't like the way that they are trained. It is hard wired for dogs to protect people and not to attack them. You have to do some extreme stuff to make a dog attack someone on command.

Lucky young man. And I can't help but think that Caesar "sensed" that he didn't need to hurt the boy.

What a hero! I bet the Dog did know the teen wasnt a danger to others and grabbed clothing to stop him from hurting himself. Dogs have a mysterious way of reading people

Animals are much more intuitive than we give them credit for. He probably sensed there was no aggression.
