A heroic K-9 cop tracked down an accused rapist on the run upstate, helping sheriff's deputies make the collar.
Nass, a lion-hearted pure-bred black lab, was dispatched Tuesday night after suspect Gregory Lewis drove a Jeep Cherokee into the Hudson River in Fort Edward Village north of Albany as he fled from cops, police said.
Lewis escaped the sinking Jeep and ran into nearby woods, where Nass tracked him down.
Lewis, of Southbridge, Mass., had been arraigned in August in the statutory rape of a teen girl.
He posted $1,000 bail and was at home under house arrest wearing a GPS ankle bracelet when he removed it and fled on Sept. 16.
He returned to his parents' home 10 days later, assaulting a relative and fleeing with a gun and the Cherokee.
After Lewis allegedly drove across the country and back committing further sexual assaults, a New York state trooper Tuesday night saw a Jeep with no front license plate and tried to pull over the driver, who sped off.
Soon after the cop radioed in the encounter, someone called 911 reporting that a vehicle had gone into the Hudson.
"[Lewis] actually drove to the end of a dead-end street and didn't realize it was a dead end and drove down an embankment and into the water," Fort Edward Police Chief Justin Durway told WBZ Radio in Boston.
People dining at a nearby restaurant heard the splash and witnessed a man exiting the sinking Jeep with a gun.
Cue the top county sheriff's crime dog, Nass. The pooch, a K-9 cop for more than five years, tracked down Lewis with no shots fired.
"The canine members of the Washington County Sheriff's Office always get the last bark apprehending criminals," spokesman Nick Spiezio told The Post.
"I would imagine once he got home in the morning, he got some good treats," Spiezio said, adding that Nass' handler, Sheriff's Deputy Scott Stark, was proud of his crime-fighting partner.
Lewis now faces charges for suspected sexual assaults and other crimes in Massachusetts, Ohio, North Carolina, Colorado and Oregon.
He also faced fugitive charges in New York Wednesday.
