NEW YORK (WABC) -- An NYPD officer officially opened his home to a dog that he helped rescue.

Officer DeSalvo from the Harbor Unit decided to adopt the furry pup named Hudson.

DeSalvo was part of a group that pulled Hudson from the East River about six weeks ago near South Street Seaport.

The dog had a respiratory infection, but is better now.

Her original owner never came forward.
