Dalton police officers found a female dog on the roof of a house on Rio Vista Drive this morning, according to a release from the Dalton Police Department.

The “good girl” was taken to the shelter by Whitfield County Animal Control, according to Bruce Frazier, DPD public relations specialist.

Police are hoping the dog’s owner will contact the shelter to pick her up.

“Despite spending time in the back of one of our patrol cars this morning, the dog has not been charged with any crime,” Frazier said in the release.
