A Mass. State Police trooper gave this Great Dane a lift after a car crash
A dog owner is grateful to a trooper who helped calm her sensitive pooch after she had to have her car towed from I-95.
The owner was driving southbound on the interstate when she was in a crash Tuesday. Cowboy, her Great Dane, was also in the car. The pair was safe, but the owner worried about her dog’s reaction to riding in a tow truck.
“I was at a loss,” wrote the dog’s owner in a thank you letter posted to Facebook by Massachusetts State Police. “Cowboy would have lost his mind if I kept him in the car while it was towed.”
Trooper Sullivan, out of the Newbury barracks, responded to the crash and let Cowboy ride in the back of his car rather than in the tow truck. The act prompted the driver, who police did not identify, to write the note.
“Thank you!!! A million times over!!,” wrote Cowboy’s owner.
Great Danes can be “super sensitive,” the owner said.
Sullivan drove the pair to a location off the highway where a family member could pick them up. But not before police snapped photos of Cowboy enjoying the ride.
“Thank you for sharing and we are glad that you and Cowboy are doing well,” wrote police in response to the letter.
