While driving home in the cold early morning at 4:30 am, Patrick Hennesy came across two scared pit bulls in need of assistance.

Despite being tired and wanting to go to bed, he didn't hesitate to stop and help. The two injured dogs were found huddled together on the side of the road.

As soon as the man noticed the injured and frightened pit bulls cuddled up by the side of the road, he called the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Shortly after, two police officers showed up at the scene, where they found the dogs whimpering softly and blood spattered on the ground

Upon the officers' approach, both pups eagerly licked and rubbed up against them, showing gratitude as if they knew that the officers were there to help.

Upon arrival, the officers noticed bloodstains on the ground and eventually discovered that one of the pit bulls was bleeding heavily. They suspected that the dog had been hit by a car and promptly took action to control the bleeding.

As one officer treated the stray's wound with gauze and pressure, the other contacted Orange County Animal Services. The animal services asked the officers to remain with the pups until they could arrive to take over. 

 

Refusing to abandon the two injured and shivering pit bulls, the officers embraced them to warm them up and provide comfort. Despite their own fatigue and discomfort, they remained by the pups' side, waiting for help to arrive.

Upon the arrival of the animal services, the officers handed over the pups to the care of the authorities. The patience and kindness of the officers helped the two pups to grow less scared and feel more comfortable in their presence.

Eventually, after being taken to the shelter, the once scared and injured pit bulls were nothing but happy, loving, and grateful towards their rescuers.

Named Liberty and Justice, the two pups have already become beloved by the shelter staff and are spreading joy and happiness. The staff is hopeful that this adorable pair will soon find their forever family. 

After the pit bulls were brought to the shelter, the officers who had helped them visited to check on their condition. To their delight, they found that Liberty and Justice had become the happiest dogs in the world, and the officers were thrilled to see the transformation.
