At the request of Page, Bobby came to the station Tuesday and was welcomed with a shower, haircut and shave. Page, Buckley and fellow officers George Gebo and Frank Fragapane, gathered donated clothing to give Bobby as well, the news station reported.

“We are always trying to come up with new ideas of how to help and give back to our community,” Buckley said. “Officer Page spearheaded the idea on this one and it was a great way to help someone who simply needed a hand.”
