On a chilly, rainy day in New York, Officer Michael Pascale was in charge when he drove through a park and observed a determined dog who obviously needed his help.

The distraught black dog was shivering, drenched in moisture, and bound to a fence by a heavy chain around his neck. Officer Pascale knew he had to save the dog, who was surrounded by broken beer bottles and used needles. He declared:

Pascale told The Dodo, “He’s just looking up at me with those ‘Assist Me’ eyes. “I have to get him out of here,” was my initial thinking.

He was released from his chain by the police, who then sent him to the Brooklyn shelter of the Animal Care Center of New York City. He continued to dry the dog with a towel while staying nearby. While a close relationship between the two was beginning to form. He declared:

Pascale said, “I don’t merely see an animal. I discern a soul. And I don’t shy away from that in the slightest.

Officer Pascale then texted his wife with a picture of the dog and a text message. She immediately said, “Convey him home,” when the sad dog touched her heart. However, the fact that this was possible presented a problem. According to the shelter, a 72-hour stray hold had to be placed on the dog regardless of the circumstances in which he was abandoned in case his owner went looking for him. It’s impossible to know how the puppy ended up in the appalling circumstances he was placed in, although it’s possible that someone was looking for him.

Officer Pascale made a commitment to the dog that he would see him daily until he could take him home. Living according to his word, Pascale returned over the course of the next several days, each time moving closer to the affectionate dog who was now welcoming him with wags and licks.

Finally, the stray maintain was up, and Joey said goodbye to Pascale at the shelter. The adoption paperwork was complete, and Joey was leaving for his forever home—a place where he would never experience cruelty again.

In fact, Joey’s life changed for the better. He now enjoys relaxing on the couch with his fur mommy and going on rides with his father throughout town. According to his father, he has essentially become a momma’s boy. Furthermore, he dislikes the rain, and who can blame him?
