MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - A Manchester, New Hampshire police dog is being hailed for helping officers track down and arrest a break-in suspect on Wednesday.

Officers responding to a reported burglary learned that the suspect had fled the scene when the homeowner arrived, according to the Manchester Police Department.

That’s when Officer Foster and his canine companion, Moose, began tracking the suspect.

Working together, police say Moose and Foster tracked the suspect through the neighborhood, over fencing and into a nearby home he had broken into.

The suspect, later identified as Glen Peace, 49, of Manchester, was arrested without incident.

He is expected to be arraigned Thursday in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North on charges including burglary, criminal trespassing, and resisting arrest.
