Dog Tied To Pole Reaches Out Paw To The Cop Who’s Come To Save Him

“[He] gave her his paw, as if to say, ‘Please help get me out of here.’”

Last week, police officer Angela Laurella received reports that two dogs were tied to a telephone pole in a dead end in Pompano, Florida writes androdass.com

With no cameras in the area, it had been impossible to understand how long the dogs had been there or who’d abandoned them. But with temperatures climbing to 100 degrees outside, Officer Laurella knew there was no time to waste.

She rushed over to seek out a frail gray dog tied so tightly to a pole that he could barely move.

“He was tied to a pole with a really short leash,” Amy Roman, president and founding father of 100+ Abandoned Dogs of Everglades Florida, told The Dodo. “He was absolutely emaciated, dehydrated, with every bone and rib protruding.”

The dog, now named Liam, placed his paw in the officer’s hand and bowed his head to receive pets. “She just walked toward him very slowly and reached out her hand, and he quite cowered and gave her his paw, as if to mention , ‘Please help get me out of here,’” Roman said.
