RCMP in Elphinstone, Man., had an unexpected visitor recently, when a starving puppy was dropped off on the Westman-area detachment’s doorstep.
Thankfully, an animal lover in the RCMP’s 911 call centre heard about the little guy, and after officers fed him and took him to the vet, he was adopted into a new home.
Police said although this story has a happy ending, it’s a crime to abandon an animal.
