Man Calls Police after Receiving Menacing Phone Call from His Dog

Bruce Gardner of Orem, Utah was just settling in for a day of work at his office when he received a phone call. No one spoke, but there was banging and scratching on the line. And the caller ID indicated that the call came from his own house! Gardner immediately called the police:

Officers went to Gardner's home, and entered. They investigated, but did not see any evidence of forced entry and nothing appeared out of place. Police couldn't locate the phone, but left after they concluded nothing had been taken.

Several hours after police left, Gardner called back saying he had an explanation for what had happened.

"Apparently his dog had gotten a hold of his cordless home phone and in the midst of chewing on it, it happened to hit 'redial,' called the man's cell phone," said Orem Police Department Sgt. Craig Martinez.

Gardner had found the phone lying face down in the garden after he tried locating it by calling the phone. After noticing tooth marks on the back of the phone, he put the pieces together.

The idea of a fire spitting flying scaled snake like dragon seems as plausible as a sniper-rifle-mace-pistol-sword.

Nature tends to optimize a single task e.g. night hunting for bats, anteaters, and even Canine transmissible venereal tumor.... in a single ecological niche...
I can't imaging in what ecological niche a dragon would fit in... (i won't say it is not possible, as evolution already provided lots of very unusual creatures, but for me it just seems not plausible)

Nature sometimes optimizes brain power such as in case of rats, orcas and humans

We could have wyvern-style dragons that evolved from the Archosauria lineage, but a hexapodal (6-limbed) dragon would be unfortunately impossible given the natural history of this planet - evolution seems to have favored tetrapods, and in my experience, there are no known hexapod vertebrates in the fossil record. To make the hexapodal dragon feasible, you have to establish an entirely new offshoot of vertebrates and work your way up the evolutionary tree from there to make it believable. That's a lot of world-building right there, so it would be easier to assume that dragons were 4-limbed, like pterosaurs were, and work out the evolution of the structures needed for firebreathing - a lot easier than trying to justify a hexapod in a world of tetrapods.
