Here are the top four stories in Huntington today:

1. A dog's life was saved by police officers and animal hospital vet. Kody, a 1-year-old male, was playing with a ball when it got stuck in his throat. Kody's owners, who live on Lewis Court in Huntington Station, called 911 and Second Precinct officers arrived and brought Kody to West Hills Animal Hospital. They were able to dislodge the ball and Kody is doing much better, Suffolk Police said. (Huntington Patch)
