Officers took her back to their command post where she was given food, water and a place to sleep.
“She’s very mild-mannered and easygoing, and has been a good morale boost for our police officers working long shifts,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said.
Mounties say they reluctantly turned the dog over to the SPCA in the hopes she can be reunited with her owners.
