Hero cop rescues dog from burning car
Loving a dog is one thing. Saving a dog’s life is a bigger task. Recently, a sheriff’s deputy in Colorado, US, is receiving all the love from social media users. Reason? The officer was able to save a dog that was trapped in a burning car.
Bodycam footage of the incident, which took place on January 22, was released by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on their official Facebook page.
In the clip, Mr Gregorek arrived at the site after receiving a call about a vehicle on fire. On arriving at the site, the deputy broke the window panes of the car with a baton.
At first, dense fumes came out from within the vehicle and the owner of the car was heard shouting in a panic about his dog, Hank, that was stuck inside.
The rescuers finally rushed to the back windshield and broke it. After bringing the dog out of the car’s rear, the deputy let it run to a nearby pile of snow to cool off.
The video has since attracted thousands of comments. Viewers appreciated the deputy’s “wonderful” efforts and called him “a true hero”. –ndtv.com

Loose goat evades pursuing police in Georgia
Police in Georgia are hot on the trail of a ‘hoofed Houdini’ — an escaped goat spotted running loose in Duluth.
The Duluth Police Department said on social media that numerous calls came on Tuesday, reporting a loose goat ‘trotting’ on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard ‘like it had somewhere very important to be.’
“Officers responded and attempted to corral the hoofed Houdini as it made its way toward Albion Farm Road, where it hopped a few fences and outsmarted us by disappearing into backyards,” the post said.
Police suspect the goat might be the same animal seen running loose recently in Suwanee.
“Apparently, it had unfinished business in Duluth,” police wrote.
