Douglas County, Colorado — Bodycam video from a sheriff’s deputy caught his rescue of a pet dog from a burning vehicle in Colorado. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office released the video of the tense moment, which took place on January 22, 2022. Deputy Michael Gregorek is shown pulling up to a distressed man and an SUV with smoke billowing from it. The man screamed that his dog was trapped inside the fiery vehicle. Without hesitation, Deputy Gregorek whipped out his retractable baton and smashed a passenger window and the back window. Seconds later the dog, named Hank, comes up to the back window and the owner tries to pull him out but is overwhelmed by the black smoke pouring out of the car. He yells “Omigod!†and moves away. Gregorek then reaches in and with much effort pulls Hank free. He runs over to a patch of snow with Hank in his arms and drops Hank in it as he proceeds to cough intensely from the smoke he has just breathed in. A veterinarian who lives in the neighborhood checked the dog out, and Hank appeared uninjured. It didn’t take long for him to be running around in the snow again.

Why was the owner going to otherwise stand there and let his dog die? I'd be breaking the windows with my elbow before standing there and watching it happen.
How did that car catch fire? So glad everyone’s ok!!
FUCKING LEGEND
Racist cop attacks innocent black SUV for absolutely no reason
You’re telling me a Ford spontaneously combusted? Never heard that happening before 🤥
Vastly more times than not, cops deserve way more credit than they get. This cop did not hesitate to fill his lungs with toxic smoke in order to save the dog.
Man, that dude is panicked worried about his dog. I totally get it. Good job officers. Now Hank has a story to tell at the dog park.
I would have done the same thing! A dog is more important than anything to me.
The cop is a true hero.
Awesome freaking video! Made my day. Thanks.
My hero
Bless you officer.👮â€â™‚ï¸
Respect !â£
Good man
Good job officer
Lol what a sad attempt to be all "See were the good guys" with all the normal clips of cops just looking to kill someone
To everyone defending the owner and making excuses for him, yall can have a coke and a smile. That was the most feeble, pussyfied, pathetic attempt as I have ever seen. That's not how an adult, let alone a grown ass man, behaves. Jesus effing christ people, toughen up.
Kinda weird how even after the cop shattered the window for the dog owner, the owner just gave up on pulling his dog out in a matter of seconds, saying, “I can’t get him,†leaving the officer to sacrifice his lungs. The cop in question is a much better man. Not to mention, why the fuck didn’t the owner try shattering the windows himself?
How can you abandon the car knowing you having a tied living animal in the back?
The dog saying thank you at the end.
