CAPE MAY, N.J. (AP) —
A dog is home after police in a New Jersey shore town posted its mugshot on social media.

Cape May Patrolman Michael LeSage found Bean the pug in a yard on Sunday. He tells The Star-Ledger of Newark he tried to get the dog to hop into his police car, but her legs were too short so he had to lift her.

Police posted a photo of Bean on Facebook with the caption: "This is what happens when you run away from home." It took a few hours before Bean's owners tracked her down.

Hadley Hubbard of Baltimore, Maryland, thanked police and posted that Bean was sound asleep after an exciting run.
LeSage posted that Bean paid her bail in cookies.

4. Has anyone here had a Puggle ? Thinking about getting one.

5. Family member has a puggle.

High energy little guy, though not bad natured by any means. Looks very like a pug, but longer legs. I once had a mutt with a lot of beagle that I dubbed "a ballerina beagle" because of her longer legs. So, maybe my niece's dog is a "ballet dancer pug." He could definitely have jumped up into the police car.

6. Ive been reading that they don't have the pug health issues but like beagles, they

can wander.

8. Yes.

The little guy's muzzle isn't quite so smashed, so I imagine he breathes more freely. And he can be a bit of a flight risk.

7. That's one dangerous criminal.

9. Looks guilty to me. Why bother with a trial? No dog biscuits for two weeks. nt
