New York City police rescued an unexpected wild creature from a river.

Upon receipt of a notification from a dog struggles in the strong currents of the East River on April 10, New York City police officers responded to the area to help, according to a statement posted on Twitter by the NYPD 19th Precinct.

However, when officers pulled up next to the animal in a boat, they discovered it was not a dog, but a coyote, police said.

A dog named Bear escaped from his owner in Manhattan and swam across the Hudson River to New Jersey, according to earlier McClatchy News coverage. He was rescued three days after his escape.
