Don't Try This At Elmhurst Police Station

ELMHURST, IL – A dog lost its way Tuesday night in Elmhurst, as temperatures hovered around zero.

In a Facebook post, Elmhurst police reported that the dog ended up at the front desk of the police station.

"She must have thought the floor was a little too cold because she jumped right up on the counter to wait for her owner to pick her up!" the police department said.

The dog reunited with its family.

"As a reminder, the Elmhurst Police Station is a designated warming shelter for two-legged residents too, but please stay off the counters, seriously," the police said.

The dog got a lot of support on Facebook.

"She's lucky to have not gotten a ticket for being dangerously adorable," the Elmhurst Brewing Co. wrote.

A woman said, "Maybe her parents told her it was time to find a job. We have this conversation with our fur dude quite often."
