POINT PLESANT, N.J. - A seal pup is finally safe after a recent storm left her far from home.
The adorable animal was discovered by a jogger on Baltimore Avenue in Point Pleasant Friday night.
Officials with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center say the young female Grey seal likely breached the flooded bulkhead at Lake Louise during last week's coastal storm.
Police kept the pup safe until MMSC staff arrived to take her back to the center.
