美国东部1月遭「炸弹气旋」侵袭，天气非常寒冷。佛州戴通纳海滩(Daytona Beach)警方就从冰冻河床中救出一只受困的小比特犬，并取名叫「芮芙」(River)。这只幸运的小狗不仅健康无碍，更在近日被女警凯拉(Kera Cantrell)领养，有了新家和新妈妈。
脸书粉丝专页「Daytona Beach Police Department」近日释出芮芙刚获救时的影片，只见牠四脚朝天躺在警察腿上，小手小脚不断发抖，一边发出无助的呜呜叫声。戴通纳海滩警局(DBPD)表示，动物警察詹姆斯(James Lee)和约翰(John Pearson)在一座桥下救出芮芙，当时气温严寒，小狗几近死亡，员警赶紧将牠抱上警车，用毛巾擦干包裹起来，并送往兽医院，所幸检查后并无大碍。

事后，警方也依程序将芮芙送到动物收容中心。女警凯拉和另一名女同事得知后，便常常前往拜访，最终无法抵挡自己对这个小家伙的爱意，决定领养回家，许下一辈子的承诺。
For the last couple of weeks we've been telling you about River the Frozen Puppy. As you know her story ended happily; she is safe and sound and very loved in the home of one of our police officers. But we wanted to share the moment after River was found and then rescued by our wonderful animal control officers John Pearson and James Lee. And we really want to thank the person, whoever you are, who called and let DBPD know that River had been left to die under the Seabreeze Bridge in mid-January when the temperature had fallen to below freezing.
