Dog missing for 2 weeks found swimming in New Jersey bay, rescued by state police: "He lost 20 pounds"

A golden retriever who had been missing for two weeks was rescued Tuesday from a bay in New Jersey.

Authorities say that New Jersey State Police troopers Ryan Koehler and Vincent Ferdinandi, of Point Pleasant Station, responded to the report of a dog swimming in Barnegat Bay and were able to bring the 3-year-old named Chunk safely ashore. "Needless to say he was ecstatic to be reunited with his grateful owners," state police wrote on a Facebook post, showing a photo of the dog after he was reunited with his owners.
