***FOUND DOG***

While on routine patrol in the area of South Branch Road and Chubb Way, Officers picked up this notably dignified doggo (look how pretty she looks in her little jacket!). Our new doggo friend was reminded of the dangers of walking in the street, and taken back to Police HQ where she was given hugs and treats.

If anyone recognizes this little lady, please spread the word to her owner(s) that she is safe, and was turned over to the Somerset Regional Animal Shelter (908-725-0308, 100 Commons Way Bridgewater NJ) to await being picked up by her loved ones.

***Disclaimer: Our beautiful new canine friend is currently under investigation for Theft... Our Administrative Assistant Joan Mathews reported that she stole her heart 😜🥰💕
