Officers from the St. Lucie County Sheriffs Office in Florida were taken aback by an unexpected noise while wrapping up a call. Intrigued, their curiosity led them to explore the source of the sound, only to stumble upon a pitiful whimpering emerging from a drain. Their faces immediately brightened as they realized their serendipitous discovery of a dog teetering dangerously close to drowning.
Convinced that there was a special bond, one of the officers developed a strong connection with the dog and made the decision to become its adoptive parent.
Despite the possibility of overlooking the noises, these empathetic officers decided to trust their intuition and came to the rescue of a defenseless pup, ultimately saving its life.
James Gettings was among the officials that unexpectedly encountered a small puppy battling to keep itself above water in the drain.
When help arrived, James felt fearful but remained resolute in his determination to never give up.
The diligent officers diligently cleaned up the pup until he got his smell back. Afterward, they started looking for his family. Unfortunately, no owner could be located, so Officer Gettings decided to take the furry friend home and gave him the name ‘Puddle’. Presently, Puddle is relishing every single moment of his existence.
