Forecasters warn the storm is expected to bring impacts to major cities including Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.

What kind of disgusting human being would chain a dog up to drown and drive themselves off to safety?
Right I've had enough of this. The law should be changed so that anyone who ties a dog up and leaves it should be prosecuted. No one should treat an animal this way. It's disgusting how people are becoming.
Anyone know if these people have been charged with a crime!?
If you can't treat them as good as your kids, or better, than DON'T GET ONE! (a dog that is..)
Massachusetts has some ridiculous laws, teetering animals in inclement weather is not one of them!
Kudos to the officer!
Why did you you tube take my comment off ? Wow no free speech here
Thank you to that wonderful,caring OFFICER!!!!! YOU DESERVE A MEDAL! MAY GOD ALWAYS BLESS YOU AND YOURS AND KEEP YOU SAFE. PLEASE REMOVE THAT INNOCENT PUP FROM THE DEMONS WHO DID THIS. LOCK THEM UP AND CHARGE THEM A HUGE FINE FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ABUSE,NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER.
Why are people so stupid to leave their dog tied up in a storm like this one all I hope who ever did this karma bits them in their A$$,Thank you officer for saving this innocent pup.
Typical section 8 behavior.
Whoever owns that animal, that had chained him to the fence and left him during that flooding should be charged with animal cruelty. Thank God for that officer!!!
Thank you for saving its life!😊
Thank you officer for going above for everything living ❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
No signs of global warming this summer eh?
Something good out of something bad – I’ll take the good 👍🏼 Let’s all try to do a little good.
You can tell by his kennel away by a fence he's not a loved member ,,disgusting people
In his next life, the dog will be the owner of the evil one that left him tied up to a post.
I curse the terrible person who did that to that poor pup!! 😠😡🤬
I should play the lottery; I KNEW it had to be North or South Carolina! The redneck capital of the US!
That poor dog needs a new owner!
Bad people should not have pets
Unbelievable that aDog is left tied to a fence! Disgusting owners!
Thank you officer
Charges should be brought up against the owners of the dog and the dog should be taken away from them. They should be sentenced severely and should not be allowed to own a dog again. I would love to tie them to a fence and watch the fear on their face grow as they drown.
I'd like to speak with the owner of that dog for about 5 minutes.
Alone.
If I ever had a chance to confront the owner, I would end them we’re doing this to a poor dog
No excuse for leaving an animal helpless like that. I hope it’s put up for adoption and not returned to them!! It’s not like it was a fast moving house fire. They had plenty of time to take the dog with them or at the very least set him free to give him a chance for survival. SMH
Legally I give the owner a fine. Illegally I hand cuff him to the fence for the duration of the storm.
The dog owners should be arrested! Horrible people should not have animals of any kind! Thank you officer for saving that precious pup. ty ty
Thank You Officer 💙🐾🐾💙
That poor dog!! 😢 thank you Officer for saving it from drowning. The poor dog must have been so frightened being tied to the fence! Shame on the owners for not untying the poor thing before they evacuated!! Thanks again for rescuing this dog!! You’re a hero!!! ❤❤❤❤
They do this every time. No Respect for LIFE!!! I'm sure 100s of animals died people don't care.
