Hoosiers have long claimed that Indiana is full of surprises, but even locals were taken aback when firefighters were called to capture a “dangerous animal on the loose.” After all, this isn’t Florida.
Locals were already on high alert after spotting the bearded dragon sauntering around their neighborhood, although it is unclear why they were so alarmed. In the end, they turned to local firefighters to solve their reptilian problem. As the firefighters bravely approached the dragon, they launched into action to capture it without even batting an eye. Though Indiana is typically known for its tranquil scenery rather than its fire-breathing dragons, the experience was no match for these fearless heroes.
Firefighters responding to such a call is not unusual in Indiana, where even the smallest of creatures are treated with great respect. In fact, it wouldn’t be a surprise if a similar call was made for a family of ducks walking in the middle of the street. To be fair, though, it’s best to err on the side of caution when dealing with wild creatures, no matter how cute and cuddly they may appear.
Thankfully, no animals were harmed during the capture, and the bearded dragon was placed safely in the hands of animal control, who will now take care of it. The creature has been given a clean bill of health and officials say it appears to be in good spirits.
Still, it remains unclear how the dragon ended up on the loose. Perhaps it escaped from a nearby pet store, or perhaps it was on the lam from a dragon fight club. Whatever the reason, it is clear that the firefighters were not taking any chances with the winged fiend.
In a statement, the fire department recommended that locals take extra precautions when keeping pets, especially if they are of a reptilian variety. They also remind us that bearded dragons can make good pets for the right person, but they require a lot of proper care and attention.
As for the citizens of Indiana, they have been left scratching their heads, wondering what could possibly be next. Will the next emergency call be for a unicorn on the loose? Or perhaps a Sasquatch spotted in the woods? Only time will tell.
All in all, it was just another day in the life of Indiana. With its lush greenery and endless fields, one might think it’s all calming and mundane in the Hoosier state, but you never know what kind of crazy things lurk in the shadows. For now, the bearded dragon can rest easy knowing that it is in good hands, and the people of Indiana can breathe a sigh of relief – at least until the next unexpected animal sighting.
