After they completed a routine traffic operation, highway patrol officers Borges and Mateus were called upon to assist with a rather different matter.

When they returned to their patrol vehicle, they saw there was a sweet little dog inside!

It had hopped inside the car and was so happy to see them!

Being left on the roadway, the puppy knew that the chances were low that he would survive out there all alone.

Officials said:

” The two policemen… tried to get him out of the vehicle. But he was crying desperately as if he were going to be abandoned again. They were surprised. He cried a lot. [He] appeared to have been abandoned on the side of the highway.”

They even filmed this touching moment.

In the video, the excited dog can be seen content that he finally found some warm-hearted humans who are willing to help him.
