Grabowski sat and played with the dogs until a police officer arrived. He ended up transporting them to the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) and they determined that the \"very sweet and playful\" pair were in good health.

The dogs’ owners are praising Grabowski for her quick thinking and are grateful to have their pups back just in time for Christmas.

Grabowski said she was happy that she was in the right place at the right time to help the dogs out.
