Officer Saves Pit Bull Tied Up In Freezing Cold And Is Rewarded With A Kiss

While Officer J. Williams was conducting a property check of the Parsippany Animal Control and Shelter last week he found a medium-sized Pit Bull tied to the fence with a red leash. Someone had left the dog with a toy, bag of food and two bowls.

The Pit Bull was left sometime between 9:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. in the morning, but the weather outside was already quite cold. It was 23 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 Celcius) with a wind chill dropping it to approximately 7 degrees. It’s no wonder the bowl with water was frozen solid!

Officer Williams picked up the unknown dog and brought him into his patrol car to warm him up. The Pit Bull immediately gave him a thank you kiss!  While Officer Williams waited fora Parsippany Animal Control Officer to arrive he couldn’t resist taking a selfie of the sweet moment.

Once the animal control officer arrived the Pit Bull was brought into the shelter. Luckily the dog appears to be unharmed. The Parsippany Animal Control and Shelter is currently looking for the dog’s owner.

Let’s hope that if this sweet pittie finds a forever family who will love him!

Pupdate:

Parsippany Police Department shared the news that the sweet pup has been adopted, and adopted by a friend and fellow officer of Officer Williams.

They announced, “We are very happy to announce that the Pitbull that was tied to the fence and left out in the cold was adopted today and is currently relaxing in his furever home. Morris Plains Police Officer N. Grawehr, who is friends with Patrol Officer J. Williams who rescued the dog, took his canine friend home late this afternoon.”
