Newly-released body camera footage from Mesa Police Officer Robert Goodrich shows the moments before , during and after he jumped into action. “I knew I had a snare in my truck and that canal is very slippery,” he said. “It could be deceiving, but I had to pretty much straddle it so I didn’t fall in myself.” The dog, named Sparky, was caught on camera 30 minutes after the pup chase some ducks and fell into the canal. Sparky’s owner, John, had to watch helplessly as his best friend floated away. “He’s my every day guy,” he said. John thought it would be the last time they saw each other. “I can’t imagine what the days would have been like without him,” he said. John is a veteran of the Vietnam War and Sparky helps him with his post-traumatic stress disorder. When he got the call later that morning that Sparky was alive thanks to a quick-thinking officer, he knew he needed to meet the man who made it all happen. “We’re both veterans, have a lot of respect for each other,” John said. “I think that he has a love of dogs like me. He understands how much this guy means to me, he has some of his own. I want to say thanks, and I think he knows how much I appreciate him.”

I wonder how many dead animals are sitting at the bottom of that canal.
All doggies matter.
Don't let Joe Asshole Biden and Antifa see this.
“ Stay there! Heh “
Was it just me or did the screen cap look like a dog skydiving

Good boy….and good dog too. ðŸº
At first glance i thought it was rescuing dog from cat….how emberassing would poor doggo be after that got air'd…but in all honesty most cats can hold their own lb for lb +.
2:23 "You have a gun on you?"
🙂
This is great to see the dog is ok. Quick thinking can mean life and death
💜💙⤠Heartfelt compassion with gratefulness for the awesome caring Mesa Police Officer Robert Goodrich 💙â¤ðŸ’œ I wish there was caring Police Officers where I live.😢
If the black was a shot he would have dogged him
😢ðŸ¶â¤ï¸
Aww, he's so happy to be rescued. Great job by the officer and I'm sure the owner was very thankful. 😀
Oh shit Ive been on that path next to the canal where this happened.
Lots of love for Mesa PD
Good jop mcsd
Real life heroes ♥ï¸
That was nice of the police officer to save the dog life
Lol I smoke weed here all the time.
Nice job.
The officer must not be a dog owner. Tail between legs is an indicator of "I'm scared shitless"
When it comes to dogs we need more cops like this, not the brain-dead cops that shoot dogs just for being friendly and running up to them
Вот Ñамый лучший полиÑмен в мире
Awww. what a sweetheart that cop is.more people need to watch videos like these so they can see our police officers are just like us. They experience human emotions like us. And have families like us. It's not right to lump them all together and demonize them.
Good job Officer. 🙂
That dog wants to bite mens hotdogs clean off
Uhm…so cops rescue stray dogs but murder family pets for their safety…..hmm…
Why don't police talk like this to humans???
I love this â¤ï¸
His ears say "Im far from home"
My dog approves this video.
cute :3
Cool….hope the dog was able return to his family.
At last some cop came in handy, upvoted this video.
I love dogs, but am I the only one that would have laughed if the dog jumped right back in? 🙂
Disgusting. We rescue dogs but massacre other animals.
stupido perro lol
