On Saturday, March 22, the Westchester, NY department posted a tongue-in-cheek update about a runaway pup spotted near Sarah Street and North Malcolm Street.
The name? Bitey McBiterton.
“Bitey McBiterton was found wandering on Sarah Street off North Malcolm Street,” police wrote. “Our Officers are unsure if Bitey is male or female, and aren’t keen on checking. If you recognize this super friendly pup, tell their owners to come get them, like now. Thanks.”
The department later confirmed that Bitey was reunited with their owner. But the fun on the internet had only just begun.
As of Sunday, March 23, the post had more than 5,900 reactions and sparked thousands of laughs from across the United States.
“Bitey looks like me the morning after the office Christmas party,” one person said.
“You can’t blame him. When the cops pick me up I want to bite them too," another chimed in.
"This post wins the internet!" a third said. "Stay safe!!”
