[WATCH]: Western New York Police Officers Rescue Dog From Creek
Police officers in Western New York are to thank for the rescue of a dog that was spotted stuck in a creek.
Officers from the Cheektowaga Police Department responded to the call on the afternoon of December 30 and quickly got to work finding a route down to where the dog was in the creek. Since the creek has a steep bank and is in a heavily-wooded area, officers had to check various spots for a good entrance point, but finally Patrolman Rutkowski was able to make his way toward the dog, who was clinging to a tree in the creek.
