Ridgewood NJ, Train traffic on NJ Transit’s Bergen County and Main Lines was temporarily halted through HoHoKus on Tuesday morning, 11/29, while a HoHoKus PD uniformed patrol officer safely recovered an uninjured dog that had wandered onto the tracks after escaping from a yard on Hillcrest Road in Ridgewood. The dog ran after a deer and never looked back; this according to its adult female owner. Tyco Animal Control Services also responded to the incident. HoHoKus PD had received multiple 911 calls from train passengers who saw the dog wandering the tracks and dispatched two (2) patrol units to the area to recover it. The dog was wearing a collar with a tag bearing the cell phone number of its owner.
