A recent video that surfaced around the internet has melted dog lovers’ hearts after seeing a Colorado police officer save a dog from a burning car. The video was captured via his bodycam. The dramatic rescue that occurred last month, is now blowing up on Facebook as fans laud the cop for his bravery.
Michael Gregorek, a deputy with the Douglas Country Sheriff’s Office, said, “My thought at that point was ‘he’s coming out with me regardless of whatever else might be happening,'” as he explains the incident.
The harrowing incident occurred in January after the policeman was dispatched to a ‘vehicle fire’ scene.
The hero cop who saved the dog said, “Once I arrived on the scene, the first thing I see is a gentleman who ended up being the owner of the vehicle, and the owner of the dog, throwing something at the back of the vehicle.”
The POV footage, uploaded by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, clearly shows Michael shattering the windows of the smoking SUV with a baton before pulling the distressed pup.
