ORANGETOWN, NY — A stray dog was found in Orangetown Veterans Memorial Park in Orangeburg. It had a collar and a chip. That's a good sign that it has a careful owner, right? Not so fast.

The chip is traceable back to Tennessee from 2016, with no current owner information, Orangetown police said.

This friendly Husky is a 3-year-old male. Found at 7 a.m. Nov. 14, he has been taken in by an Orangetown resident until the dog’s owner can be determined.
