The dog was rescued by two bridge workers and eventually brought to the Pomona Animal Hospital, where he was treated for cuts, scrapes, and a torn pad on his left front paw. He was later reunited with his owner at the Hi-Tor Animal Care Center. Look for Steve Lieberman’s story at Lohud.com and in tomorrow’s edition of The Journal News.

We got the call at my hosp. Today. I feel so bad we couldn’t have helped the poor guy but I worked for Pomona a few yes back and he def was in great hands. =]
I was shocked to see this dog at the tappan zee bridge this morning and was very concerned but felt helplessly that I cant stopped to help. Glad to know that he is now okay.
