Wonderful!! So glad you rescued him and now you have each other! Dogs are great! 💛💙🩵
When Baltimore Police Officer Dan Waskiewicz was called to respond to a report of a [da.nge.rous] dog, he had no idea the call would lead him to his future best friend.
When Dan arrived, he found a Pit Bull being chased by neighborhood children who were [thr.owi.ng] glass bottles at him.
Instead of seeing a [da.nger.ous] dog, Dan saw a [fr.ighte.ned] animal who needed help. He called the Pit Bull over and the dog walked straight up to him, sat beside him and began affectionately licking him.
Dan, a lifelong dog lover and Pit Bull fan, knew there was more to this dog than the [vi.cio.us] label suggested. He gave him some water and, rather than allowing the situation to escalate, Dan and his partner took the dog to the Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS).
But Dan couldn’t stop thinking about him. Just a few days later, he decided to adopt him. He named him Bo.
Dan said: I’ve always been a dog-lover. I’ve had dogs all my life, so coming across him was no problem, He didn’t need to be euthanized or anything like that. He just needed somebody to basically love him.”
Dan’s compassion earned him recognition from the Baltimore Humane Society, which honored him for his actions.
“Because of Officer Waskiewicz’s astute response, he saved the life of an innocent animal and avoided what could have been a situation with a tragic ending,” said Jen Swanson, executive director of BARCS.
A s.ca.re.d Pit Bull found someone who saw him for who he really was—and a police officer found a new best friend. ❤️
Canines have an innate sense of recognizing a “safe” human or critter lover, either in their body movement, timbre of voice or a combination of both and more.
Hope the kids were shown the error of their ways!!
Show a little love dogs can sence the difference… they have so much to give its… like children they are as good as treated well.
If you see something you know is not right, say something, do something, please…💪
