3 min read Kind Cop Goes Above And Beyond For A Lonely Little Coyote Pup He found a friend when he needed it most ❤

Stop in the name of the awww. This week, a Massachusetts State Police trooper did just that — coming to the aid of a helpless young coyote pup who'd been found stranded all alone along a busy roadway.

Seeing that the pup's mother was nowhere in sight, trooper Carlo Mastromattei contacted Lisa Cutting, owner of Ocean View Kennels, for help in safely removing the animal from that perilous spot. The pup was now out of immediate danger, but Mastromattei's kindhearted actions didn't end there.

At that late hour, all nearby wildlife rehab facilities were apparently closed. So, the trooper then decided to go above and beyond his call of duty in order to keep the little coyote safe until morning. Mastromattei brought the pup home, where he and his girlfriend kept him cozy and fed through the night.

The next day, Mastromattei brought the coyote to the Tufts Wildlife Clinic for a checkup. Fortunately, he was found to be in good health — thanks in no small part to the trooper having rescued him in time.
