If you were to see an injured animal on the side of the road, what would you do? Would you stop? Call 911? Call Animal Control? It’s a sight many of us (thankfully) don’t have to see, but something that still occurs on a regular basis.
Florida citizen, Patrick Hennessey, was driving into work at 4:30am one morning when he spotted two pit bulls on the side of the road, one of which looked to be injured. He decided to call 911 and thankfully for the dogs, two wonderful sheriffs showed up to save the day.

After some rest and TLC, the injured dog was back on her feet and Boggs and Reed made their way to visit her and her friend once more. As soon as they arrived, the dogs remembered their heroes. They couldn’t stop loving on them!

People from all over praised the officers for their kindness and compassion towards the dogs – particularly those who know how misunderstood the pit bull breed can be. Reed and Boggs were just glad they were able to help and see a happy ending for the sweet dogs.
