Gus the Dog

Port Stephens Hunter Police District had a unique visitor to their station this week after community members reported Gus the dog frantically running on the road in Port Stephens.

The officers managed to catch him and give him a ride back to the station where he instantly made friends and wanted to feel like the rest of the crew- so was given a uniform to wear.

The district managed to contact Gus’ mum who came and picked Gus up, but not without a few photos first.
