Cop Won't Leave Two Scared and Injured Pit Bulls He Found Early in the Morning, Waits for Help to Arrive Despite the Chilly Weather
Every day, roughly 70 million homeless dogs and cats face challenges in their quest for survival in the U.S. alone. These poor animals end up in this situation because some pet owners, sadly, aren't very responsible.
Some people don't bother spaying or neutering their pets, leading to more animals being born into a world where there aren't enough caring homes for all of them.
It is heartbreaking to see dogs and cats out on the streets when all they deserve is love and attention from a caring human. So, how do we help lessen the population of abandoned animals?
The simple solution is to be responsible owners toward our pets. If, at some point, we find ourselves in a situation where we can't take care of our beloved pets, it's our responsibility to find them a forever home.
When life suddenly becomes full of problems, it should never be an excuse to abandon our pets. The moment we bring them into our lives, we make a commitment to becoming their lifelong companions and caregivers, dedicated to their well-being for their entire lives.
Today's story starts out heartbreakingly because it involves two abandoned and injured pit bulls. When the concerned cop approached them, he discovered that one of them was bleeding.
It was chilly early in the morning, but he never left the scene. Instead, he waited for help to arrive.
It was a chilly morning at 4:30 AM.
Deputy Patrick Hennesy was driving home when he saw two pit bulls in need of help.
The cop saw the two on the side of the road. They were snuggled up to one another.
The ground was covered in blood as the dogs howled helplessly. Fortunately, two more cops arrived a few moments after Hennesy made an urgent call to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
The two dogs knew they were getting help, and they appreciated it.
They were friendly when the cops approached them.
The cops quickly tended to the wound to stop the bleeding.
After examining the injury, they concluded that the dog had been hit by a vehicle. One of the deputies applied pressure to stop the bleeding using gauze.
The cops were already tired, but they simply couldn't leave the shivering and scared dogs. They gave the two canines warm hugs.
Rescuers finally arrived, and they took the two dogs into custody.
The dogs knew that they were now safe in the hands of animal services. Soon, they were taken to the shelter.
At the shelter, the two dogs were given their names: Liberty and Justice. Their heroes are hoping that the two will eventually find their forever home.
Once the puppies got settled at the shelter, the police officers who had protected and watched over them visited. To their delight, Liberty and Justice now seem to be the happiest dogs ever!
The whole event was documented by a citizen who saw the deputies helping the dogs. He writes:
These pictures I took depict the loving nature of our deputies and will tug at any animal lover's heartstrings. Thank you.
