A photo of a Florida police officer recently posted to Facebook has hit seemingly everyone right in the heart, just in time for Christmas feels.


After she was hit by a car in the Kissimmee area of Florida, near Orlando, and appeared to be in pain, Deputy Josh Fiorelli sat with the dog and comforted her, covering her with his coat.

The achingly sweet image rapidly shot around the internet after being posted to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.

Here is their original post.


No owner of the dog has been identified yet, but she was taken to the Osceola County Animal Shelter, where she is recovering. But, shelter director Kim Staton says she's got a tough road ahead of her due to the seriousness of her leg injuries.

Speaking about the dog's leg to Orlando's Fox 13 News, Staton said:

"It's out of joint, her hip joint, so she'll have surgery on Thursday to have that repaired."

Those surgeries could come with complications of their own, further lengthening the dog's recovery. But doctors said she is stable and eating well, and they are hopeful she'll make a full recovery.

And from the sounds of it, she's been in great hands right from the start, including Deputy Fiorelli's. Staton praised the Deputy's care and thanked him for "...taking this dog under his wing, so to speak, and taking care of her until our officer could get there."

On social media, people were touched and heartened by the Deputy's kindness.

No word on Deputy Fiorelli's marital status, but the pup is likely to be very available soon!

Since no owner has been found, shelter director Staton said the dog will likely go up for adoption. So if you're in the market for a very good girl, you know who to call!

In the meantime, you can also donate to the shelter on its website.

We're all pulling for you pupper!

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
