Cop Comes To Injured Hawk's Rescue

It wasn't a typical dispatch call for the Ross police officer.

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - K9 Officer Peter Cheberko wasn’t responding to a normal police call. He was dispatched to the Rochester Inn on Rochester Road to assist an injured hawk that had been hit by a vehicle.

With the assistance of a matron and a motorist, Cheberko safely secured the bird and successfully transported it to the Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center on Camp Horne Road for treatment.
