Police go above and beyond the call of duty every day for their community, and the deputy in Florida's Martin County proved just that this week.
While working near the Jensen Beach Causeway, the officer heard cries coming from a dumpster. As she got closer, she discovered a 4-week-old puppy sitting next to a bag of dog food. The pup was scared and dehydrated.
According to reports, the officer wrapped the tiny puppy in a blanket and gave it some food and water. Afterward, the puppy fell asleep in the deputy's vehicle, as the officer drove the animal to the local veterinarian for a quick check up. The puppy appeared to be okay and healthy.
The dog is now in good hands. The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast is now caring for the animal. They began taking adoption applications for the puppy and already have a waiting list. The dog will need a few more weeks of care before going off to it's new forever home. No doubt, this puppy will get the second chance it deserves with a very loving family.
An investigation is currently underway to find out who dumped the animal near Jensen Beach. Anyone with information should call The Martin County Sheriff's Office.
Let's help track down the people who abandoned this puppy, so please SHARE this story with all your friends on Facebook.
