We’ve seen loyal police officers put their own lives on the line to save others on several times. These heroic men and women, however, do not just safeguard humans, but also animals. So, when it came to saving a helpless dog in severe need, this cop didn’t hesitate to put his life on the line to assist the poor pup. The incident was captured on camera by the police officer’s colleagues!

The dramatic scenario occurred in Mexico, and the Federal Police posted video online as a warning to the public that these officers are always ready to defend everyone, even if it means putting their lives in danger.

“We confront many problems in our job,” Mexico’s Federal Police stated on Facebook, “always focused at safeguarding life!”

A group of cops responding to a home fire quickly discovered a terrified dog stuck behind a fence as the fire advanced swiftly. One of the cops hurried to the creature’s aid. The heroic police officer is shown surrounding the dog; he ultimately manages to catch the puppy in his arms, and the two of them make it to safety.

The dog, called Lulu, was defending the property when the fire erupted, according to local media. The Federal Police have not provided any information on how the fire began or whether anyone was injured.
