On Christmas Eve in 1914, in the middle of World War 1, something incredible happened.
Dad wanted to give his teenage daughter Audra a very special surprise gift this year for Christmas as she’s been going through a lot recently.He worked with Saukville Police Department Chief Jeff Goetz and Officer Brandon Depies to have Officer Depies pull Audra over and tell her he was giving her two tickets. She never expected the tickets to be an airplane ticket to New York and a ticket to a Timeflies concert, her favorite band.
An officer from the Kansas City Police Department was pictured sitting with two dogs on the side of the road keeping them warm. He was on his way home from work and instead of just calling it in and leaving them, he got off his bike and kept the dogs warm with him. Later the owners were happy to find them at the animal shelter. Well done sir!
