TPD Sgt Simonson, MPO Barrett, Ofc Whitney, along with Hillsborough Animal Safety Ofc Lewis arrived and found the mom on top of the trash bin.
Ofc Lewis discovered a tiny puppy, the runt of a litter, inside of a plastic bag. Underneath a nearby shed was the puppyโs mother and three other puppies. A Tampa police officer crawled under the shed to rescue the mom and pups.
โWe donโt know if she was successful in getting the other three out of the can and under the shed, but she sure was trying to get that last one out,โ Tampa police spokesperson Andrea Davis told Bay9 News.
