VIDEO: Yorkie Steals the Show in Miami Police Takedown
A Pedestrian Intervention Turns into a Canine Caper
On Sunday night, a Miami Police Department officer said he was trying to help a man on a bicycle in front of the Target in downtown Miami near Overtown. The officer claimed that the man started acting rude and told him to leave the Target at 249 NW Sixth St. around 7 p.m. The officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he was trying to de-escalate the situation when a tiny, 10-pound Yorkshire Terrier named Luna decided to take matters into her own paws.
Luna Steals the Show
As the situation was unfolding, Luna, who was accompanying her owner, suddenly darted out from beneath her owner’s jacket and ran straight for the officer, yapping loudly and nipping at his pant leg. The officer, caught off guard, was initially startled but quickly realized that Luna was trying to distract him from the situation.
A Distraction Turned Takedown
With Luna’s intervention, the tense standoff between the officer and the man on the bicycle began to dissipate. The man, seemingly unaware of the canine caper, slowly dismounted his bicycle and began to walk away. The officer, now free to focus on the situation, was able to de-escalate the situation and escort the man away from the area.
A Heroic Hound
Luna’s sudden appearance and bravery may have saved the day, as the officer credits her with breaking the tension and allowing him to resolve the situation without incident. “She was like a tiny little superhero,” the officer said in an interview. “I was shocked, but it seemed to work. I’m just glad everyone went away peacefully.”
