A Florida veterinarian received a note from a customer after treating her dog. It’s prompted him to call the police. They soon discovered the horrible secret this customer was forced to hide.
On any given day, you might have the opportunity to do something extraordinary. You might not be expecting it, but when it does, you need to respond.
For one Florida veterinarian, this was one of those days. It started like any other. The office was filled with customers needing help with their pets. There was plenty of work to be done, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. Then, a young woman entered the office. She was there getting treatment for her dog. But while her animal was being examined, she slipped a note to the staff.
It was definitely not something he was expecting.
The note compelled the man to call the police, who quickly swooped into action. What was the message that started it all? A shocking plea for help. Thanks to the vet’s quick actions, a woman’s life was saved.
A Florida woman was rescued Friday after she slipped a note to a veterinarian saying she needed help because her armed boyfriend was beating and threatening her, police said.
Jeremy Floyd, 39, was arrested after allegedly holding his girlfriend, Carolyn Reichle, captive in their home in Volusia County for two days, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said. The alleged incident began Wednesday when the 28-year-old woman said Floyd repeatedly beat her and threatened her at gunpoint. At one point, they struggled over a handgun that fired inside the house.
Reichle spent the Thursday recovering from a head injury. The next day while thinking of an escape plan, she convinced Floyd, a convicted felon, to allow her to bring her dog to the DeLand Animal Hospital, police said. Floyd insisted on going with her.
“On the drive to the vet, Floyd reportedly again pointed the gun at Reichle, threatening to kill her and her family,” police said.
Fearing for her life, Reichle was able to slip a note to a vet that read: “Call the cops. My boyfriend is threatening me. He has a gun. Please don’t let him know.” [Source: Fox News]
Imagine going to work and getting that kind of note. What would you do? This young woman had been horribly treated. It was clear on her face that her boyfriend was abusing her. Do you confront the man? Do you take matters into your own hands?
Thankfully, this staff member made the smart choice to call the cops. Police acted quickly to arrest Floyd and recover his handgun. It’s clear from the circumstances that this man was deranged. He had no intention of ever letting his girlfriend go. Without her quick thinking to concoct a plan, she might not have survived.
Reichle was taken to the hospital and treated for her injuries that included a head wound, a black eye and bruises, according to the sheriff’s office. Authorities also discovered two bullet holes inside the couple’s home.
Floyd was charged with domestic violence — aggravated assault with a firearm, false imprisonment, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon and simple battery, police said.

Instances like this happen far too often. It’s unacceptable that anyone is treated this way in our country. But this story is proof that, even when the worst happens, there are good people who will do the right thing.
Thanks to that vet, this woman was able to get the help she needed. And her scumbag boyfriend will face a punishment he deserves. It’s a reminder that we must always be ready to help if the opportunity arises.
