Pug gets mug shot, jail time after day on the run

CAPE MAY, N.J. — A dog from New Jersey would have quite a tale to tell if she could talk, but her adventure netted the pug a mug shot and a booking number.

Bean the pug somehow got out of her home and was found after she sneaked through a few yards in Cape May, NJ.com reported.

Police caught up to the four-legged perpetrator, or pup-etrator, and tried to get her to hop into the police car.

Bean couldn't because "her short little legs couldn't make it into the car, so I had to lift her up,"police said in a Facebook post.
