WESTPORT —  Police said they are investigating after a man allegedly approached a girl at her bus stop and asked her if she wanted to see a cute dog in the back of his Jeep Tuesday morning.

Westport police said around 7:20, a juvenile female was approached at her bus stop at the intersection of Clinton Avenue and Breezy Knoll by a suspicious male.
