A Florida police officer has been commended for his compassion after he selflessly rescued a puppy he had found at the end of a long shift, and then stayed with her, despite his exhaustion, until he was sure she was safe.
Officer Kareem Garibaldi of the Lakeland Police Department was finishing his shift in the early hours of the morning on May 21, 2016, when he came across the small pit bull/boxer mix puppy.
