The New Canaan Police Department’s animal control officer on the morning of Friday, Aug. 30 used a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich to draw in a skittish young dog, seemingly abandoned on Cedar Lane. 

Officer Sean Godejohn said he was going away that weekend and asked Greenwich Animal Control if they could watch the Black Tavern/Belgian Shepherd mix female. Greenwich agreed, and “the staff fell in love with the dog and asked if they could keep the dog and adopt the dog out,” Godejohn said. He agreed, and the dog will be up for adoption via Greenwich Animal Control on Saturday (Godejohn got the bacon, egg and cheese from Club Sandwich.)
