NJ Carrier Reunites Customer and Pet

Remy, the pit bull puppy, has a postal employee to thank for reuniting him with his owner.

New Jersey had experienced flooding, and the dog swam away from home. Remy later became stuck in a muddy marsh where he stayed for hours until kayakers discovered him.

Toms River, NJ, Letter Carrier Al Font, a 16-year USPS veteran, came upon the rescue effort while on his route and recognized Remy as the dog described on a missing poster he’d just seen.

Font then called Remy’s owner, who immediately came to the scene to pick up his best friend and to thank Font for reuniting them.
