The dog, named Leonardo, was rescued from a sewer pipe in New Rochelle late at night after officers from the city's police department noticed that he was underground, the Humane Society of Westchester at New Rochelle said in a social media post on Saturday, April 8.
After finding Leonardo, officers managed to coax him out by sharing their dinner with him. Once he was back above ground, police discovered that he was wearing a harness and leash but had no ID or microchip.
They then called the Humane Society, who took him into their shelter.
Described as a "sweet boy," Leonardo often gets excited about walks, the Humane Society said.
As for how he ended up in the sewer in the first place? It's still a mystery.
Anyone interested in adopting Leonardo can call the shelter and fill out an application, or click here.
