Deputy Josh Fiorelli, from Osceeola County Sheriff’s Office, in Kissimmee, Florida, stopped when he saw the injured hound.
“It was cold out. She was wet,” said Deputy Fiorelli, according to WFTV News . “She didn’t have anyone there so I decided to be that person.”
A man who was out walking his dog saw the sweet scene and snapped a picture, posting it on a social media with the caption, “This is something that you don’t see every day.”
The deputy had removed his own coat and was using it to keep the dog warm until help arrived.
“I know a lot of dogs become defensive when they get hurt. She was not defensive at all. She was accepting of me trying to pet her and take care of her,” Deputy Fiorelli said.
The dog, who had nothing to identify her, is being cared for at the Osceola County Animal Shelter. She is expected to make a full recovery.
If the owner doesn’t come forward she will get the surgery she needs and a forever home will be found for her.
It’s great to know that there are still good people in this old world. Thank you Sir!
