A Florida sheriff’s deputy rescued a dog so cute he couldn’t help but adopt him.
St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Deputy Troy Glover was on a routine assignment and heard a dog whimpering. When he investigated, this is what he found.
Glover called his colleague James Gettings to help. Gettings used a catch pole to pull the golden retriever mix out from a collapsed septic drain that had formed a deep puddle.
“He had been balancing on his back legs to keep his head above the water,” Gettings told Officer.com. “I don’t know how long he had been in there. His hind legs weren’t working once we pulled him out.”
