Officers at 55 Division took on a new mission Thursday morning: reuniting a lost German Shepherd named Banano with her owners.

The dog was picked up in the area of Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street East after officers mistook her for a coyote and drove toward her to investigate.

"So they get out and she kind of comes over, and they open up the back of the car and she jumps in," Staff-Sgt. Clayton Campbell told CBC Toronto.

Police brought the dog back to 55 Division, where officers brought her water, took her for walks in the back parking lot and set about finding her owners. While at the station, Campbell said Banano was "happy, but nervous."

Using the rabies number on the dog's collar, police located Banano's owner, going as far as driving her home.

"[Her owner] couldn't drive so we brought the dog to her," said Campbell. "She was really happy."
