Officer enters sewer to save kitten, who is then named after him
Officers Cameron Wells and Ernesto Amparan arrived on scene to find a large group of people huddled around a drain and heard a faint moaning coming from inside it. Officers soon realized it was a distressed kitten in need of rescue, but there was something standing in their way - an eight foot long, dark and dirty sewage drain.
Amparan didn't hesitate. He quickly grabbed his flashlight and entered the drain.
More here:Officers say the people who made the 9-1-1 call decided to adopt the kitten there on the spot. They named him Ernesto, after his rescuer Officer Ernesto Amparan.

That's a heartwarming story but I don't think I would try it. Sewers have pockets of Hydrogen Sulfide gas, which can cause immediate loss of consciousness and death.

I once did the same thing for a puppy. Lured the little S.O.B. with a piece of hamburger supplied by the complainant. I didn't get in the paper.

Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

That's because puppies are not as cute as kittens.

I would do that, no not really, I'd let the hose dragger get the credit. LOL
Just because your sign off after you're shift is done, doesn't mean that it's over and put blinders on. You're a cop 24/7 wether you like it or not. If thats something you can't handle, you should find a new line of work!

I'd do it in a heartbeat....I'm a softie for animals.
