On Thursday, a Uniontown, Pennsylvania resident named Deja Drake-Darnell spotted a puppy stuck on a ledge as she walked along a creek.
Immediately, she ran over to the nearby police car of Lieutenant Tom Kolencik and told him about the stranded pup.
The Lieutenant found a ladder and climbed down to the creek. Then, he crossed the creek and retrieved the puppy.
Kolencik thanked Drake-Darnell in a Facebook post and mentioned that he didn’t think the puppy would have survived the night without her help.
Thanks to Drake-Darnell’s quick thinking and Lieutenant Kolencik’s leap into action, the puppy was unharmed and was reunited with their family shortly after being rescued.
Watch this video to see the heroic rescue!

Thank you for saving this tiny dog.
Thank you, Deja and Lieutenant Kolencik for rescuing this pup, and reuniting with family.
Our pets are like little kids – you have to watch them every minute!
Ummm, why was the little dog out roaming around? And how did he end up where he was? Owner should be held accountable.
A very big thank you for helping this puppy.
God blesses rescuers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Quick thinking and good people.
Thank You.
I’m proud there are more people who love animals as much as I do.
Thank u to all that love animals. Hurt the people who hurt all animals .
A hero❗️ Why was that little yorkie out in the first place?
Thank you all for your kindness!!
COGreat man who saves the life of a helpless animal. That’s a person with respect and a heart! As far as I’m concerned, I need a statue!MMENT
Thank goodness there are still some people with hearts in this sad and weary world!!
Big thanks to Ms. Drake-Darnell and Lt. Kolencik!
Well done to the two involved in this rescue.
Thanku to Deja Drake-Darnell and Officer Tom Kolencik. 🐶🐕🐾❤💚❤💚
Well done Lieutenant Kolencik.
Tom, what a hero. Above and beyond.
That is a sweet little Yorkie. He is grown up. That is the grown up size of Mini Yorkies. Why did the people who owned him not know that he was missing and stuck. Maybe he should have a new good home. My son has one just like this one and he loves her like a child.
Wow that is a sweet little Yorkie. My son has one that looks exactly like this one. So cute. Did the family not know the little guy was stuck on the ledge.
I think these idiots need to concentrate on getting educated. No slap on the wrist. Lock them up for awhile and fine them. Then make them do community service by giving speeches on why this shouldn’t happen.
THANK GOD FOR WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO STILL OUTNUMBER THE BAD!!!!
