Green Bay Police Officer saves a life & finds a new furry friend, adopts stray puppy she brought to shelter
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – A police officer in Green Bay didn't just save a puppy's life, she also made a friend for life.
The Wisconsin Humane Society's Green Bay Campus posted on Facebook regarding Officer Micke, who found a puppy shivering under a bush after a report of a loose dog.

Officer Micke didn't realize at the time of rescue that she found the next member of her family, as she brought the stray puppy 'Liquorice' to the Green Bay Campus of the Wisconsin Humane Society.
She requested a hold on Liquorice when bringing her into the shelter, just in case Liquorice ended up unredeemed by the end of the shelter's stray hold.
Wisconsin Humane Society Media Specialist Corey Viars said he was going to bring Liquorice in for Local 5's Pet Saver on Friday, but he saw the adoption hold and learned it was from Officer Micke.

'When she comes in, let me know so I can take a picture,' Viars said. '[Officer Micke] told me the story about how she rescued Liquorice and on the way to the shelter, they fell in love.'
A story that seemed out of a fairy tale became official a week later, as Officer Micke adopted Liquorice and brought her home, finding a furry little friend for life.
