Police rescue dog with snout zip-tied

South Bend Police responded to the report of a dog running in the area of Chippewa Bowl with a zip tie around his snout.
Prior to our arrival, several good Samaritans stopped to try to catch the dog, but were unsuccessful.
South Bend Police Officer Stephanie Northcutt was among our officers who responded and was able to build enough trust with the dog to safely catch him and take him out of harm's way.
Officer Northcutt then held the dog as a bystander assisted in removing the zip tie from the dog's snout.
