A Florida trooper turned hero on a rainy Wednesday morning as Hurricane Milton stormed in.

Bodycam footage shows the officer approaching a dog tied to a pole, left standing in a puddle as deep as his legs.

Despite some growls, the dog was soon in safe hands, thanks to the trooper’s calm approach.

The best part?

The pooch got a full vet check-up after his dramatic rescue.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Fox News reports:

Florida troopers rescued a dog tied to a pole and left standing in a large puddle on a rainy Wednesday morning as Hurricane Milton barreled toward the state.

Bodycam footage posted by the agency’s Tampa account on X shows a trooper walking along a field off Interstate 75 near Bruce B Downs Boulevard toward the dog.

“It’s OK, buddy. It’s OK,” the trooper is heard saying as he approached the dog, who was standing in what appeared to be a large puddle of water that covered his legs.

The dog began to growl as the trooper moved closer.

“I don’t blame you. I don’t blame you,” the trooper said. “It’s OK, buddy.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded online after seeing the video.

The dog is doing well now.

Even been to the vet.
