Officers Fred Corrubia and Jonathan Harder found Ronin on the upper level of the bridge, bleeding heavily from his right paw and leg. The officers rushed the canine to the Oradell Animal Hospital in Paramus.
Ronin's owner, who called police shortly after he ran off, was told where he was and the two were soon reunited, Pentangelo said.
The puppy is back home and recovering from his injury.
