Officer adopts abandoned Dog he rescued in the rain

Police officers have hearts too.

Look at the difference between a healthy and happy dog and a po.or ch.ained unhappy one. Thank you Mr. Policeman…!

In a cold, rainy afternoon when NYPD Officer Michael Pascale first met Joey. He was driving his squad car through a public park when he spotted a small black dog huddled among the used nee.dles and br.oken be.er bot.tles.

Upon closer inspection, Officer Pascale saw that the dog had a thick ch.ain aro.und his ne.ck teth.ering him to a fence. Joey was soaking wet, shive.ring, and clearly a.ban.doned.
Pascale said: He’s just staring up at me. My first thought was I’ve got to get him out of here.

The animal-loving officer took Joey to the Animal Care Centers of NYC‘s shelter in Brooklyn. As he dried the grateful pup with a towel, he could feel a special bond beginning to form between them.

He sent his wife a photo of the pitiful pup via text. Her response was immediate: (Bring him home!) Just like that, the couple decided to adopt Joey — if they could get past one small hurdle.
