Soon, local police were inundated with calls and messages showing outrage and concern.
Brown posted a photograph of the dog that looks like a chocolate Labrador with duct tape wrapped around its mouth with a message: “This is what happens when you don’t (sic) shut up!!!” A minute later, she posted, “Don’t panic everyone it was only for a minute, but hasn’t barked since... POINT MADE!!! (sic)”
Outraged, people from as far as Australia and Canada flooded the Connecticut police with calls.
