FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two puppies are warm, safe, and dry tonight thanks to a caring Fresno County Sheriff's deputy.

Rechsteiner found the two puppies huddled up in a vineyard, trying to get out of the rain and cold.

He took the pups back to his patrol car and quickly wrapped them in towels to get them warm.
