“Bitey McBiterton was found wandering on Sarah Street off North Malcolm Street,” the Ossining Police Department’s brilliant social media staff wrote in a Facebook post over the weekend.
“Our Officers are unsure if Bitey is male or female, and aren’t keen on checking,” they added.
“If you recognize this super friendly pup, tell their owners to come get them, like now. Thanks.”
The Ossining Police Department — located about 65 kilometres north of New York City — shared a photo of the small white dog they dubbed “Bitey,” as it snarled at the camera.
In an update shared shortly after the post, police hilariously confirmed that Bitey’s owner had come to collect him.
“Bitey Update: Bitey has been returned to his owners,” the department wrote.
“Return to your regular scheduled sunny, but cold Sunday.”
They added: “Let’s go Spring, get it together.”

Many commenters had plenty to say about the grumpy pup.
“It’s always the white crusty-eyed ones,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “And he would do it again, that dog has zero regrets.”
One person joked (we hope), “You can’t blame him. When the cops pick me up, I want to bite them too.”
However, most people wrote in to applaud the author of the post, with commenters coming in from all over the U.S., Canada and even Spain.
“You’re getting a follow for this one, one Torontonian wrote, to which the department replied, “Bitey thanks you. We will make sure to drop him some treats.”
Another agreed: “Maaannn, I am all the way in TEXAS. Way to go, Facebook, making me feel like my nosey grandma knowing everybody’s business.”
A third person added: “Alright alright #clickbaitdoneright here. (I don’t even f***ing know) where Ossining is yet here I fawking am! Reporting for duty to see content.”
One commenter summed it up: “Whoever writes these posts deserves a raise!”
