While driving to St. Paul, two sheriffs encountered a puppy walking down the middle of the highway. After safely stopping traffic to retrieve the lone puppy, officers brought him into the local vet, where he was given a clean bill of health and new family.

On Feb 19 around midnight, one of our officers witnessed a rare cosmic sight while traveling northbound on Highway 2, south of Cgy. Luckily, his dash camera captured footage of the event, which can now be shared with those who were not as fortunate to experience it in person.

While doing a traffic stop, sheriffs noticed a large owl w/c appeared to be injured near the ditch. W/ some guidance from @FWEnforcement , sheriffs successfully capture the injured owl for transport to a wildlife rehabilitation centre. The owl is expected to make a full recovery.
