PITTSFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) – The Pittsfield Police Chief was honored on Tuesday for his heroic actions to save a postal worker that was being attacked by two dogs.
Back in 2021 Chief Thomas Dawley was home off duty when he heard screams for help.
A few houses up he saw a person being attacked by two dogs. Dawley sprung into action running into the scene, pushing the dogs off and getting bit in the process.
Eventually the dogs owners took control of them and Chief Dawley brought newly pregnant postal worker Leah Rowland back to his home where she was treated before being brought to the hospital.
Rowland presented the award to the chief this morning and spoke briefly about that incident stating that if Chief Dawley had not intervened, she believed the results would have been much worse.
