Hartford Cop And Canine Encounter Highlights Services Offered

HARTFORD, CT — City police are reminding residents this morning the department's animal control office is there to help if a dog is missing or one is found.

Highlighting this was a recent interaction between one of Hartford's finest and a seemingly, weather-worn canine huddled up at a fence.

The Hartford Police Department posted a photo on social media Thursday morning showing "Officer Clifford" and a "new friend" getting to know each other, with Clifford offering a treat to the roaming creature.

According to the department's Twitter feed, the HPD actually responds to multiple calls for loose dogs, encouraging folks to call them if their services are required.

Those seeking a dog or seeing a loose canine are asked to call the Hartford Police Department Animal Control at 860-757-4395 or visit the department's animal control website.
