Police say a man's body was recovered from a lake in Millstone Saturday morning.

They say 78-year-old Michael Rosen was walking his two dogs and did not return home.

Troopers noticed footprints and found a jacket and hat lying by the lake Friday after responding to a call in Millstone Park about a dog stuck on the lake. They were able to rescue the dog.

Officials say a search for the man started Friday and was resumed Saturday morning due to water conditions.

They discovered Rosen's body on Saturday. The other dog has yet to be found.
