A dog found stuck in mud in south Florida has been reunited with its owner.

A K9 officer was able to free the dog, who police said was "worn out and tired," and appeared to have been there for some time.

The dog didn't have any tags or a collar, so police asked for help locating the owner. Several hours after the posting, police updated to say the dog was home safe.
