Police are asking the public's help for information after an abandoned dog was found tied to a tree off of a busy stretch of Interstate 84.
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 24, a New York State Department of Transportation crew getting ready to mow near mile marker 50 on the highway in East Fishkill heard what sounded like a dog barking in the nearby woods, state police said.
