As we know, police officers are not only there to help out humans in need and distress but also animals. Whether that's an alligator or a dog, a good samatarian doesn't discriminate.

On September 23, the good samatarian on duty was Officer B. Shultz from Greenville, North Carlolina, who went into knee-deep water to rescue a pit bull that was left to defend itself, as the news station @cbsnews reported. Let's check it out!

Aw, he truly is a hero!

In a heartwarming display of heroism and compassion, Officer B. Shultz of the Greenville Police Department saved a pit bull from a perilous fate as floodwaters due to tropical storm Ophelia surged through the city early Saturday.

Officer Shultz's quick thinking and unwavering commitment to duty transformed him into a local hero and a symbol of hope during these trying times.

According to the Greenville Police Department, the dog was inches from drowning while being tied to a fence as the storm rapidly moved inland with heavy rains and winds.

"Thank you to the Good Samaritan who called this in! Without you, he wouldn’t be alive," the police department's Facebook post reads.

The rescued pit bull is now safe and sound, and Animal Protective Services will further investigate this incident.

Hopefully, the person responsible can be found and held accountable for leaving an innocent dog tied to a fence in the middle of a tropical storm.

I wouldn't be surprised if this story continues and Officer Schultz ends up adopting the rescued pittie!

Pets deserve to live just like us humans, and hopefully this little pittie will find a loving forever home.
