We live in a world where it is no longer safe to stop in the middle of the street for someone in the dark.
But as a police officer, time and place don’t matter when you find someone in trouble. Our heroes in blue are sworn to serve and protect – whom, when and under what circumstances.
They will stop at nothing to help everyone. All? all!
Including dogs? Why not?
When two pit bull puppies are in dire need of help, a police patrol sergeant happens to be passing by and stops to help them. There is proof that good things can happen after 3pm!
It serves and protects everyone, including dogs.
two police pitbulls
Orange County, 4:30 p.m….
There wasn’t a soul out that night. As morning approached, Officer Patrick Hennessy of the Orange County, Florida Sheriff’s Office was walking down the street to finish his shift. Little did he know that his ministry would end in a glorious way. More points will soon be added to his hero label because he did something that most people today deny.
He was human. Officer Hennessey observed a pile moving on the side of the road just off the road. There were two dogs and they were not in good condition. Hennessy pulled over and called Deputies Boggs and Reed for assistance.
The help they needed arrived quickly and the two pit bulls were glad to have someone paying attention. The two men greeted the officers and patted them to thank them for coming to their aid.
But then they noticed something terrible. There was blood on the road. One of the dogs was bleeding profusely. It looked like someone had been hit by a car and was running away, and the poor dog was in pain and needed to be petted by a friend.

Officers called Orange County Animal Services, applied pressure to the wound, applied gauze and stayed with the dogs until rescue arrived. They hugged the poor puppies and kept them warm the whole time.
OCAS quickly arrived and took the two Pitti girls. But it wasn’t goodbye.
So what happened?
A dog on a leash and a few policemen
A few days later, the police visited the shelter to see the dogs they had rescued. The two Peteys were named Liberty and Justice, and aside from their initial injuries, they were fine. The girls were very happy to see the friendly policemen who came to help. They kissed and hugged and got a lot out of it. It was a good meeting day.
Soon after, Liberty and Justice also appeared on Good Morning America!
Justice quickly found him a permanent home. Liberty tested positive for heartworm but was later adopted. Some posts on social media claim that Justice has returned to the shelter after two years. I’m not sure. The information you returned to the system was not found. We hope these two beautiful pit bull girls are safe in a loving and caring home away from the streets.
