Photos: Florida deputies save pit bulls left on road

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Two stranded and injured pit bulls are in good hands thanks to two Orange County deputies.

The deputies found the pit bills Thursday morning in the middle of the road. One had been injured and both appeared frightened, deputies said.

A passerby, only identified as Adam, saw the deputies tending to the animals and snapped some photos.

Adam sent the pictures to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office with a note saying, "The deputies stood by with the dogs until Animal Services arrived, and they even applied gauze to the injured dog's leg to stop the heavy bleeding. These pictures I took depict a loving nature from our deputies and will tug at any animal lover's heart strings. Thank you."

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office posted the pictures on its Facebook page.
