Crime Fighting Kids Point Helicopter In Right Direction During Crime Manhunt

Some kids in Surrey, England found a quick way to fight crime while out on an Easter Egg hunt.

Surrey Police were chasing down a couple of burglary suspects and the National Police Air Service had a helicopter in the air looking for the two men.

Several kids, ages six to 12, accompanied by parents,  spotted the police helicopter overhead and correctly guessed the cops in the air were looking for the two men the kids had seen earlier.

The kids quickly got down on the ground in a plowed field and formed an arrow with their bodies to point the helicopter in the right direction, Surry Police said.

The helicopter crew steered in the direction the human arrow was pointing and spotted the two crooks. They relayed that information to Surrey Police on the ground, who quickly arrested the pair.  .

"The swift action taken by the group of parents and their childres was the sort of thing you would usually associate with an Enid Blyton adventure, but their ingenuity proved a great help for our crews," said Sgt. Paul Sochon of the National Air Service Police.

After the chase, the helicopter landed so airmen aboard could thank the children. The children responded by sharing chocolate Easter treats with the crew from the helicopter.

All in all, a great day for everyone, except the burglers.

ANOTHER Reason Why Dogs Are Awesome

A couple down in Charleston, South Carolina hired a woman to take care of their infant son because they had to work.

The happy dog who saved the baby from
an abusive babysitter.  

The woman they hired, Alexis Kahn, seemed fine. She passed her background checks and all.

But soon, the couple's friendly dog started being very, very unfriendly toward Kahn. When she'd come to the door, he'd get all aggressive and want to attack her.

The dog would also try to form a protective barrier between Kahn and the baby, according to television station WCSC in Charleston. 

That was enough to get the parents, Benjamin and Hope Jordan suspicious. So one day, when they left for work they left an iPhone on and hid it under the couch, to see if it would pick up any signs something was amiss.

Well, it was. The iPhone caught the sounds of Kahn slapping and abusing the baby. She was fired, faces up to three years in prison and won't be babysitting, hopefully ever again.

Unfortunately, the WCSC report doesn't give us the name of the dog, but well done doggie!  As Gawker put it, that's a real Lassie moment for ya. 

Do you have any Lassie moments with any of your dogs you want to share? Please do.
