    Default Detective helps handicapped girl when her service dog is hit by car

    I love these Good Samaritan type stories. Kudos to this police officer for paying the vet bill. I particularly appreciate this story because I have a good friend with MS and I know how much she relies on her service dog.

    ************************************************** ************************************************** ******************************

    TACOMA, Washington — When Pierce County Detective Ryan Salmon stopped to investigate a crowd on a Tacoma street corner, the sight of a girl in a wheelchair with her special needs dog at her feet really got his attention.

    Faith Cloud is confined to a wheelchair and cannot speak because she was born with cerebral palsy. Her service dog, Spice, had just been hit by a silver car that fled, leaving Spice behind with multiple hip and leg fractures.

    Salmon says he "just did the right thing. It wasn't about being a cop; it was about having compassion for this girl and her dog."
    Salmon helped Faith's mother, Tonya, and a friend move Spice up into his unmarked police car for a trip to a veterinary hospital.

    Later that day,when Salmon called to check up on Spice, he learned that Tonya could not afford the X-rays and treatment that Spice needed. So, again, Salmon "just did the right thing" for Faith, Spice, and Tonya and told the vet to send him the $200 bill for the treatment.
