NYC puppy rescued after swimming across Hudson River to New Jersey

"Bear, a Leonberger Bernese Mountain dog mix, has spent the past week taking in the sights of New York City after getting lost and swimming across the Hudson River —all the way to New Jersey.

His owner, Ellen Wolpin, joked in an interview with NBC’s New York affiliate, that the six-month-old pup completed a duathlon in his adventure throughout the city.

“He ran a mile and a half and swam across (the Hudson River), which I think is about a mile,” she said."
