Police Officer Kareem Garibaldi was on an early morning patrol in a Florida neighborhood when he barely escaped a hit-and-run with a stray puppy running wildly down the street! It didn’t have a collar.

The caring man decided to take the puppy to SPCA Florida after a 12-hour shift.The wildlife center manager tells how touching it was to see a police officer with a puppy. the officer waited for 3 hours to learn about her health condition.

Thankfully, Officer Garibaldi’s efforts proved extremely valuable. The puppy ended up getting adopted later that day by a dispatcher. She now goes by Hope, an appropriate name. Hope’s happy ending might not have happened if it had not been for Garibaldi’s kindness.
