NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police in Manhattan have reunited a dog with her owners after the frisky pup went on a 14-hour squirrel hunt through New York's Upper East Side.
The NYPD's 19th Precinct tweeted out a photo of Khloe after officers found her Friday night.
According to police, Khloe was out for a walk with her owners around 7 a.m. when a neighborhood squirrel caught her attention. The persistent pooch took off after the critter and that's when cops were brought in to help with the search.
Squirrel!! We sure were on a wild dog chase tonight. Khloé decided to chase a ???? at 7am, got away from her humans & went for 14-hour run all over the #UpperEastSide. Our officers finally caught & safely reunited her. Thanks to @NYPD23Pct for helping catch this 4-legged fugitive. pic.twitter.com/9lAyMdp6Q8
