A four-legged Floridian was rescued hours before Hurricane Milton was expected to make landfall.

A Florida highway trooper found a dog tied to a fence off I-75 in the Tampa area on Wednesday amid mandatory evacuations as the region prepares for potential destruction from the storm.

Body cam footage shows the trooper approaching the dog in the rain, its legs submerged in water. The dog, what appears to be a white bull terrier, growled and barked as the trooper neared.

"It's OK, buddy," the trooper said, trying to calm the dog. "It's OK. I don't blame you. I don't blame you. It's OK, buddy. It's OK."

The dog is now safe after receiving a clean bill of health from a veterinarian, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety.
