State Police Trooper Gives Great Dane A Lift After Owner's Crash

BOSTON (CBS) – A woman is praising a Massachusetts State Police trooper who she says went above and beyond to take care of her and her dog following a crash.

State Police shared a message from a woman who was in a crash on Interstate 95 South.

She said the accident would have been routine if she didn't have her large Great Dane dog in the back seat.

Trooper Sullivan of the Newbury barracks, as State Police put it, "assisted in a Great (Dane) way."

The woman said Cowboy would have "lost his mind" if he had to stay in her car while it was towed. Great Danes are by nature sensitive dogs.

So Trooper Sullivan let the dog climb into his cruiser. The trooper dropped the woman and her Great Dane off where she needed to meet her husband to get a ride.

"Thank you!!! A million times over!!" the woman wrote to police.
