Bear broke free from his collar Saturday on Manhattan's Upper West Side and was found early Tuesday in Edgewater.
Bear, a frightened puppy who got loose Saturday afternoon in New York City, somehow survived a daunting swim across the Hudson River to New Jersey and has been reunited with his grateful owners days later.around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday from beneath the Pier at Independence Harbor, officials and his owner said. Bear ran for a mile-and-half through the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Saturday before leaping into the river.
The dog’s first few days as a New Yorker — he arrived just last week — were spent trying to get him acclimated to city life. Another good Samaritan also tried to chase Bear through Riverside Park, but wasn’t able to keep up with the speedy pup, who was last seen paddling in the murky Hudson River. But Tuesday morning, Wolpin got a surprise call from Edgewater police, who tracked down Wolpin thanks to Bear’s microchip.
