Police officer Angela from Florida, USA, was on a very special call-out in August 2021.
She had been told of an abandoned dog, in urgent need of rescue.
Shocking actions
A witness had spotted a dog tied to a post, so close to the metal pole, he couldn't even take a single step.
Dehydrated and terribly thin, the poor pup was absolutely terrified.
The officer carefully approached the frightened soul. Then something happened that changed her forever.
Angela becomes his saviour
The dog pleadingly reached out his paw to the young woman, as if begging her for help - a scene that left the officer in tears.
Angela untied the dog and arranged for him to be taken to an animal rescue organisation. Once there, he was named Liam.
The founder of the rescue organisation described Liam as pure sunshine. "There isn't an ounce of malice in him and he showers all his helpers with love," she explained.
