Tiny Jack Russell puppy joins Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon police

Officers posted photos of their youngest ‘recruit’ on social media on Tuesday after taking charge of the runaway puppy in Markethill.

“This super cute Jack Russell puppy ran up to our police car on Main Street,” said one of the police team.

The pup is described as being very friendly and well looked after, leading officers to believe she may have only just got out.

They think the puppy is too young to be microchipped.

"She joined us out on patrol for a while before falling asleep on duty,” the officer said.

Police have asked the puppy’s owner to make contact with ABC Council’s dog warden so they can be reunited.
