The Florida highway patrol troopers have once again shown their dedication to serving and protecting, as they rescued a dog who was left stranded on Interstate-75 as Hurricane Milton neared. In a heartwarming video, we see the trooper pulling over and walking towards the small white dog, who was abandoned on the side of the road.
With the storm approaching, the officer can be heard comforting the dog, saying "It's ok buddy" as they make their way towards him. The dog, who is revealed to be a bull terrier, is standing in brackish brown water, seeming to be in distress. He barks at the officer, who responds with understanding, saying "I don't blame you."
This act of kindness did not go unnoticed, as the Florida highway patrol unit took to X to remind residents to not leave their pets behind during natural disasters. "Do not do this to your pets please," they pleaded, showing their concern for the safety of all animals. This sentiment was echoed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on X, who declared that anyone who mistreats pets during a storm will be held accountable.
As Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida, with winds reaching 193km/hr and even higher gusts, the importance of keeping pets safe during natural disasters becomes even more evident. It is truly cruel to leave a dog tied to a post in the face of an oncoming storm, and it is heartening to see the Florida highway patrol troopers and Governor DeSantis take a stand against such mistreatment. Our furry friends deserve to be cared for and protected, especially during times of crisis. Let us all remember to do our part in ensuring their safety.
