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
