Police Officers Step In To Assist Loyal Canine Who Refuses To Leave Injured Companion

Encountering an injured animal by the roadside is a distressing situation. Would you halt your vehicle, contact emergency services, or reach out to Animal Control for help? Although it is fortunate that not many of us have to witness such an event, it is still a common occurrence.

At 4:30 in the morning, Patrick Hennessey, a resident of Florida, noticed two pit bulls on the roadside, with one appearing to be hurt, as he was driving to work. He dialed 911, and fortunately, two kind sheriffs arrived to rescue the dogs.

Upon reaching the location, Officers Boggs and Reed discovered two pit bulls, one of which was severely injured. Despite this, the other pit bull remained loyal to its companion, refusing to abandon them. After patiently gaining the trust of the dogs, the officers were able to guide them off the road.

The injured dog seemed to have been struck by a car, leaving a sizable wound on her leg. Patrick and the officers collaborated to dress the wound, and offered some treats to both dogs, leading to a swift transition from being slightly acquainted to becoming close companions.

Until Animal Services arrived, the officers remained with the dogs, and Boggs and Reed made sure that the puppies were secure and would receive proper care before relinquishing them and bidding farewell.

Following some rest and tender loving care, the injured canine had regained her strength and the two officers paid her and her companion another visit. Upon their arrival, the dogs recognized their rescuers immediately and showered them with affection!

Many individuals, particularly those who are aware of the negative stereotypes surrounding pit bulls, lauded the officers for their compassion and benevolence towards the canines. Reed and Boggs felt content that they could assist and witness a joyful outcome for the affectionate dogs.
