While on his way to work yesterday morning, K-9 Officer Luke Whelan noticed two stray dogs running down Wehrle Drive in Amherst. The dogs did not have collars or tags and appeared to be on the run for quite some time.

He called for the other handlers in the unit for assistance. Together with K-9 Officers Bigham, Bogulski, and Clifford, Officer Whelan was able to leash one of the dogs while the others fed and kept the other dog in the area.  

Amherst Police Dog Control also responded and the dogs are now being held at the Clarence Animal Shelter. The quick actions of our TAPD Officers helped prevent any further harm to these pups, and they are now safe and sound.
