Thankfully, police were able to track down the pup and get the dog in the back of a police vehicle uninjured.
Happy Friday! Last weekend, we had an unexpected visitor take a stroll on the Garden State Parkway. Although dog catching is not a part of our academy training, our troopers did a phenomenal job making sure this young pup was not harmed—because it seemed like she was having a good 'ole time playing tag! The pup was taken to a local shelter, and we are happy to say that she is healthy and in good spirits! Check out the video!
