Busan patrol team officers Lee Jong Ho and Choi Myung Soo sprinted to a convenience store after receiving a sudden distress call from the emergency telephone number 119 (similar to 911 in the United States).

Once they arrived, the two officers were greeted by an unexpected four-legged friend, smiling happily and wagging its tail.

The police patrol had received the call from a student who worked part-time at the convenience store when he was startled by the Golden Retriever's surprising appearance.  It was reported that this employee has a huge fear of dogs.

The cute companion was under the rescue patrol's care when it was safely returned to its owner after a lost and found report was filed.
