Stray Puppy Rescued from Drain by Police Officer Who Becomes His New Dad

Police officers are trained to respond to calls, but sometimes they encounter unexpected situations that lead to extraordinary outcomes. That was the case for the officers of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office in Florida who were leaving a call when they heard whimpering from a nearby septic drain. Upon investigation, they found a little puppy fighting for his life in the dirty water.

Realizing the pup was a stray, one of the officers, James Gettings, knew he had to take action and save him. He scooped up the exhausted and scared puppy and bathed him several times until he was clean and smelled like a dog again.

Despite their best efforts to find the puppy’s family, they were unable to locate them. Officer Gettings felt it was meant to be, so he decided to take the puppy, whom he named Puddle, home with him.

Puddle is now growing up and living his best life with his new dad. Thanks to Officer Gettings’ kindness and compassion, the little puppy has a new chance at life and is enjoying every moment of it.
