I’m helping my pal, Phil Townsend, on a telephone install for a jewelry store on Sunset Blvd., just before the border of Beverly Hills. I usually don’t do installation, but, repair was slow, so, dispatch sent me to help Phil knock out this phone system swap. All the wire was in place, it was to be a piece of cake…Phil meets me at the security buzz in. Its a glass anti room to hold back robbers. Right. These jewelry guys also had a big German Shepherd in the rear of the store you accessed through a secondary buzzer. This dog was supposed to be locked in a storage room while we did the install. It got out, just after I arrived. It went right for Phil, sitting on a plastic milk crate, wiring jacks behind the main glass counter. It bit him right in the crotch. Phil smacked the dog on its head with a ten button call director, making it let loose and run down a hallway behind us…Phil kept his jewels, and, picked up a nice check for ten grand later…
