LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — Police searching the pockets of a suspected drug dealer in Lawrence, Massachusetts, got an unusual surprise.

An officer pulled out a tiny three-week-old pit bull puppy and handed it over to animal control.

The little dog was separated from its mother too soon and got sick and dehydrated, but is now recovering at BluePearl Veterinary Partners in Waltham.

The puppy, dubbed Pocket, of course, should be ready for adoption within a few weeks.
