Troopers responded to a report around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday morning on Highway 228 near Brush Creek Rd. of an injured dog in the middle of the roadway, and would not let anyone approach him.
Troopers found the beagle along the side of the highway, and it appeared to have sustained injuries either from falling out of the back of a pickup, or being clipped by a passing car, according to OSP.
A trooper escorted the dog to a veterinarian in the Albany area for treatment of minor injuries.
Anyone with information about the beagle is asked to contact OSP’s Northern Command Center at 1-800-452-7888.
