Letter: Community helps find another lost dog

My family and I would like to thank the West Windsor community for their tremendous assistance on Aug. 2 to find our five-month-old puppy Harper. The police department was really supportive and a huge help with putting out a Nixle alert, which alerted friends and neighbors to keep an eye out for our puppy that had wandered off our property after being scared by loud farm equipment.

We were touched by those who kindly joined us in the search. Yet, it was West Windsor Police Chief Robert Garofalo on his own time, and his wife, Gloria, who saved the day. They went out of their way to keep up the pursuit of Harper and clearly deserve the title of dog whisperers. Having lived here for 17 years, we’ve never been more proud and pleased to call West Windsor home, and appreciate all those who lent a hand in our time of need.
