Michigan police officer save toddler’s life after child was found unresponsive near a home pool

Bodycam footage captures a Michigan police officer saving the life of a 2-year-old boy after he faced difficulty breathing from being in a pool.

Dearborn, Michigan, police rescued a cat with an arrow in its body, and now, the adoption center that took in the cat is offering a reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the culprit who took aim at the feline.

The Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit said in a Facebook post Wednesday that Santana was delivered to them by the Dearborn Police Department about 24 hours after he was shot with an arrow.

Shelter officials quickly got Santana to Affiliated Veterinary Service, where he was given lifesaving surgery to remove the arrow, which pierced both of his lungs, causing them to collapse.

Officials said Santana is recovering well at the Friends for Animals intake facility, and once he is fully recovered, he will be available for adoption.

“In his recovery, we’ve been amazed by how sweet and social Santana is,” the post read. “Our staff and volunteers will continue to take great care of him until he is ready to find his forever home.”
