On July 16, the Augusta Police Department dispatched Officer Sara Rogers to pick up a neglected puppy that was injured.

She took the puppy to a nearby clinic while authorities searched for her owner.

Throughout her shift, Officer Rogers kept an eye on the puppy to make sure she was okay until representatives from the Kennebec Humane Society arrived.Officer Rogers developed a close bond with the dog, and the two of them even shared a meal.

To help this kind canine, Rogers felt she needed to take additional action. She decided to foster her till she was ready for adoption because they were never adopted.

Rogers decided to keep the dog, which she gave the name Rey after a Jedi from Star Wars.

The touching tale and a picture of the cute couple were posted on the Facebook page of the August Police Department.

Rogers was unable to let her go when the time came for her to locate a new residence.
