When a New York state sheriff’s deputy received a call telling him that a dog had been hit by a car, the deputy did more than call animal control; his kindly treatment of the injured pup, which was photographed and posted on social media, is warming the hearts of thousands.
The touching photo of Chautauqua County sergeant Chris Howlett was snapped as he comforted the dog by the side of the snowy road. Howlett covered the shocked, injured pup with his own jacket and waited beside her, soothing her with gentle strokes to the head while help was called for.
