Lost West Caldwell Pets Returned Home With Police Help

WEST CALDWELL, NJ — There are many harrowing aspects of serving one’s community as a local police officer. But there also many good ones… such as reuniting lost pets and their owners.

With the help of the West Caldwell Police Department, a pair of cuddly canines found their way back home, authorities recently reported.

On Sunday, the WCPD asked for the public’s help finding the owner of a lost pup on social media. The story ended happily, authorities said.

“The dog’s owner is on his way in to bail him out… Thank you everyone for the help/shares,” police wrote.

LOST PIT BULL

In late April, another pet found its way safely home thanks to the WCPD.

According to police, a brown and white pit bull with no tags was found roaming the area of Ravine Avenue and Dodd Road.

The pooch’s owner was later found and the dog was “on his way home,” police said.
