EXCITING FOLLOW UP STORY:
FORT LEE, NEW JERSEY: The good people of New Jersey were astonished and amazed at the story of the pony now known as “Georgie.” This charming nomenclature is because the pretty white pony walked across the George Washington Bridge last week. (to follow this story: twitter@georgiehorsiebridgey)
“Georgie,” the incredible, bridge-crossing pony. Isn’t he cute??
As reported, traffic stopped, police were called, and on-lookers were agog, when an attractive pony (sex now definitively confirmed as male) sauntered across the sidewalk of the George Washington Bridge.
The scenic and historic George Washington Bridge: everyone’s favorite!
The animal control department of Fort Lee (www.controlyranimalsfortlee.org) calmed the pony; and its employee, Cheryl Broadbound [age not disclosed], temporarily housed the pony [illegally–don’t mention this, Wally] in her own garage.
The Fort Lee Police Department investigated how the pony crossed the bridge, but has been unable to solve the mystery–so far. “Believe me, we will get to the bottom of this,” stated Sgt. Francis McGree firmly. “The department takes every incident in our purview very seriously. Especially in an election year.” [donations gratefully accepted by department for charity work with “unruly youth.”]
