When this New Hampshire officer was called to a Walmart parking lot to rescue a baby from a hot car, he didn't hesitate to shatter the window.
He realized, however, the baby was just a doll.
According to WMUR-TV, Keen police officer Lt. Jason Short rushed to find what appeared to be an infant wrapped in cloth while responding to a call about a baby in a hot car in a Walmart parking lot.
"It was draped with a light blanket, and I could see little feet out with the non-soled shoes and a bottle of milk," Short told WCVB.
He then broke the car’s window with his baton and tried to breath into the "dead" and "lifeless" body.
He called for an ambulance, and then he checked for an obstructed airway.
“And I went to put my finger in its mouth and it was all resistance,” he said.
“And I’m like, ‘This is a doll.’”
He called the ambulance again, to relay its services were no longer needed.
The doll, as it turned out, belonged to a Vermont resident named Carolynne Seiffert.
Seiffert, whose 20-year-old son died in 2005 from Hunter’s disease, collects lifelike dolls as a form of coping with the loss.
She owns about 40 of them.
Such dolls are known as reborn dolls, mimics of human babies in exquisite artificial detail.
Police offered to pay for the damage to Seiffert's car and she placed a bumper sticker on her car explaining that the doll is not a real baby to prevent officers like Short from feeling obligated to rescue it.
