  1. Way To Go, police 👮🚔 officer good job on rescue on dogs🐕🐕‍🦺 from tornado 🌪🌪 in Houston Texas. I knew it was coming. Keep up a good work 😉😉.be careful and be safe😉😇.

  2. Animals know when a tornado or a thunderstorm capable of producing one is coming. One of the likely reasons why he wouldn't come out since he was trying to hide from the tornado.

    As for me, I would've done the same thing for my dog, even laying on top of him to protect him from getting picked up or hit by debris. Luckily my parents' house has a basement, so he'd be down there with us. He'd be scared, but I'd be petting him and saying it's going to be ok.

  3. so the officer left his dog, a highly trained officer, in the car alone, with no way to get to safety. Then he risked his own life by going out into the storm to get the dog, his partner and finally bring him to safety, something that he should have done when he got out of the car and now he is being praised for saving the dog's life when he was the one who put the dog in jeopardy in the first place. SMDH, and the news is twisting the real story to make this guy out to be the "hero"? anyone else might have animal cruelty charges against them.

  4. My firefighter academy class was doing some training near Houston when the rain started. Shortly thereafter I heard about the tornado warnings in and around Pasadena.

    The fact this cop went through diminished visibility to save his partner made me teary eyed. I didn't even know about it until just now.

  5. He said it best when he said that Roni had saved his life many times and he wasn’t getting to let him go like that. That’s love. Dogs are family and they only have us. I would’ve done the same thing🥰

  6. during the wildfires in hawaii, a man was found dead curled around his friend's dog, also deceased, in an attempt to shield the dog from the heat and flames. i know some people say we don't deserve dogs, but also. sometimes we do.

  7. They risk it to save their dog but leave a woman handcuffed in the back of a car parked on railroad tracks that gets hit by a train. The range of people in uniform is too great. Their needs to be more officers like this one and more strict mental fitness and morality standards across the board.

  8. The dog would have been fine in the truck. He put it at more risk by bringing it outside. Why was his beloved partner in a vehicle with all the windows rolled up anyway?
