Trooper, the bull terrier left tied to a fence ahead of Hurricane Milton’s landfall, has found his forever home. The adoption took place while his former owner, Giovanny Aldama Garcia, awaits his court date after being charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers found the dog stranded in stomach-high waters near Interstate 75 in Tampa.
A video of the rescue was shared on social media with the caption, “FHP Troopers rescued a dog left tied to a pole on I-75 near Bruce B Downs Blvd this morning. Do NOT do this to your pets please…”
