00:00There's a reason New York City cops are considered the finest.
00:04A video recorded by police body cam shows officers wading through frigid waters at Baisley Pond Park,
00:10just south of Jamaica, Queens, to rescue a blind dog that got stuck in the reeds and was at high
00:16risk of drowning.
00:18According to SWNS Sparky, the 8-year-old Border Collie had somehow fallen into the pond.
00:24The New York City Police Department received several 911 calls reporting the incident, with the first call coming in at
00:318.18 a.m.
00:33Officers William and Esposito of the NYPD's 113th Precinct were at the scene in just minutes and both officers jumped
00:41into the pond.
00:43After Sparky was carried out of the water, he was taken to a local vet to be checked out and
00:48then reunited with his owner.
00:50A good ending to a story that could have ended tragically if it weren't for the good nature of New
00:55Yorkers who knew who to call
00:57and the New York officers who don't mind getting cold and wet to save a blind dog's life.
01:02New Yorkers have a tough reputation.
01:05People seem to think that if someone falls or is in need, that people in New York will just walk
01:09on by.
01:10But the truth is, New York takes care of their own.
01:13And as long as we see the situation being handled, yeah, we'll keep walking.
01:17Ain't no need to linger. We got places to be, things to do.
01:21And today, today was a good day for New York and for Sparky.
