(WSVN) - A Fort Pierce officer has added a new four-legged member to his family.
Officer Michel Jean stepped in after the owner of the 6-week-old pitbull mix said she couldn’t take care of the dog.
The puppy was said to not be strong enough to survive a shelter cage during Hurricane Dorian and needed a safe place to stay.
Jean FaceTimed his son, got an approval from him and the family cared for the pitbull during the storm.
