MIRAMAR, Fla. – A puppy on the verge of death was rescued by two selfless police officers in South Florida on Friday.
Miramar police said officers were dispatched to the 6000 block of Southwest 27th Street in reference to a severely injured dog found on the street. They were told that the pup had been run over and was “still fighting for her life.”

A passerby told police that her name was possibly “Peaches”; however, no one has since claimed ownership of the puppy.
“Our officers did not hesitate and took Peaches to the veterinarian on their own to save her life,” a Miramar police spokesperson told Local 10 News.
Authorities said the puppy needs “intense veterinarian care,” including surgery.
The officers who saved her life started a GoFundMe page and even donated some of their own money to help pay her veterinary bills.
They are urging anyone who wants to join the officers in helping Peaches get the care that she needs, to click here.
