Joe Brazil, a kind-hearted officer from Woonsocket, Rhode Island, is always willing to lend a helping hand. Recently, his heroic act of rescuing a helpless dog has touched the hearts of many people, including Peggy Edwards who shared the heartwarming story on Facebook. According to Peggy, the incident happened on May 2, 2016, when a frightened Yorkshire terrier puppy was scared off by a passing car and ran away into a tunnel. Joe didn’t hesitate to go after the little pup and save it from danger. The story quickly went viral because of its heartfelt nature, and we were all moved by Joe’s kindness and bravery.
Peggy took to Facebook to share an incident that occurred on April 30th, where a small dog was frightened by a car and ended up stuck in a tunnel that ran through a nearby creek. Despite her initial hesitation, Peggy knew she had to do something to help the stranded pup. However, she was worried about spooking the dog and causing it to move deeper into the tunnel. In the end, Peggy called the Woonsocket Police Department for assistance, and they were able to successfully rescue the little dog.
After a brief period, Officer Joe Brazil arrived and was enthusiastic about providing assistance.
The courageous Policeman was enthusiastic to assist when Peggy recounted the incident. We are overjoyed that he managed to rescue the young girl, and Peggy noted, “He didn’t hesitate for a moment and emerged from the water with a drenched and frightened little dog.” The kindhearted Officer removed his shoes and socks before entering the tunnel to save the tiny pup. According to WJAR NBC10, the Officer was reachable, and they reported, “As I approached, I could see Cece clinging to the wall and trembling.” The Officer was extremely cautious not to frighten the little dog any further into the tunnel, given how scared she was. And then something amazing occurred! When he approached the frightened dog, he allowed Cece to follow his fingers a little further into the tunnel, after which he lifted her up!
During an interview, Perez shared that her beloved pet, Cece, was just five months old when she went missing. Perez was filled with anxiety and couldn’t sleep as she drove around and contacted anyone who might have seen her furry friend. Luckily, thanks to the efforts of Peggy Edwards and Officer Joe Brazil, Cece was rescued from a frightening tunnel and reunited with her owner. We are all grateful that Cece was saved and able to return home to her loving owner.
According to a report from WJAR NBC10, Brazil recounted that the dog, named Cece, appeared to be aware of her intentions to help and even expressed gratitude. The heartwarming photo captures the canine’s affectionate demeanor towards the kind officer who rescued her. Additionally, it was revealed in a separate interview with WJAR NBC10 that Cece was not a stray but belonged to a loving home. The dog’s owner, Michelle Perez, shared that her mother-in-law had gifted her the adorable pup, but it managed to escape the following day. Perez expressed her delight in learning that her beloved pet had been found.
