Chautauqua County’s Deputy Sheriff has touchingly demonstrated that every living being deserves love and compassion.
It was a freezing cold day and the ground was covered in a thick layer of snow when Sgt. Chris Howlett and Deputy Jason Beichine learned that a pup was lying in a ditch next to the highway and was in clear distress.
Despite the harsh weather, Howlett and Beichini decided to jump into action and rescue the poor pup, rather than simply contact animal control and let them deal with it. To them, it didn’t matter that the person in distress wasn’t human – all they cared about was stopping needless suffering and saving a life.
When they arrived at the cold and snowy scene, they found the pup in deep distress. The scared and hurting little girl had been involved in a hit-and-run and left for dead in the snow-filled ditch. The pup was injured from the impact and was incredibly cold from being left alone in the freezing weather. Sgt. Howlett knew that the poor pup needed warmth more than him, and so he took off his own jacket and wrapped the shivering dog in it to get her temperature up.
