Police officer rescues dog from burning car (Video)
A Colorado police officer melted pooch lovers’ hearts after valiantly saving a dog from a burning car, as seen in this POV footage captured via his bodycam. When Deputy Michael Gregorek got a call about a car on fire, he had no idea that a dog was trapped inside. “Dog in the car? Where’s it at?” the footage shows Gregorek asking the dog’s owner moments before he smashes the back seat window on the driver’s side of the car with his retractable baton and peers into the car with his flashlight.
But when that didn’t work, the owner and Michael worked together to figure out where Hank could be through the thick smoke. Thankfully, soon after busting the rear windshield, Hank was able to stick his head out of the opening. His owner desperately tried freeing him, but when he was unable to, Michael quickly took over. It wasn’t easy, but Hank was finally freed! “He was salivating. You could tell that he was in distress,” Gregorek said of the dog. “I just went in there and grabbed on, and his body had already kind of started to tense up, so I knew he was really in a bad way.”
“Nothing else really mattered at that point other than getting Hank out of the car,” Gregorek said. Michael immediately ran the overheated pup over to some snow so he could cool down. Hank was no doubt shook up after that ordeal, but soon enough he was back to his happy self, making sure to show his appreciation for Michael with some sweet puppy licks! Watch the dramatic video, Police body camera footage shows the harrowing moments of the police rescuing the trapped dog from a burning car.
