It’s a police officer’s duty to serve and protect the public, but the following video proves that more often than not, cops will go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to animals who have found themselves in dangerous situations.
A video of a brave police officer with Policía Federal de México has gone viral since being posted this December. In the video below, we see an unnamed officer run into a blazing inferno, after a home and its surrounding property burst into flames.
Fortunately, it looks like everyone on the property was evacuated, excepted for a medium-sized mixed breed dog who found herself trapped behind the chain-link fence. The dog, who is referred to as LuLu in the video, was able to run as far as she could from the flames, but she was still trapped inside the complex.
That’s when the selfless police officer decided to risk his life and run into the blazing area to grab the traumatized dog.

Much like these brave policemen in Colombia, who worked tirelessly to rescue a horse in grave danger who was trapped in a sand grinder, there’s no denying this brave officer was a true hero to the terrified dog.
“To do our job we face different challenges, always oriented to protect life.” the Policía Federal de México wrote on YouTube, describing the dramatic events from the video.
