A veteran who was once homeless is getting back on his feet with help from a Fort Worth police officer.
This past winter, Officer Joe Spragins saw Toney Dervan at various spots in west Fort Worth responding to business complaints when Dervan was with his service dog.
Eventually Spragins found out Dervan was a war veteran serving right after 9-11 who fell on hard times. Officer Spragins knew Toney wanted help to get to a better place,"So when someone like Toney comes along, I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen." "It's been a lifesaver, just him going back and forth and coordinating – he's gone way out of his way," said Dervan,"I'm very grateful, I can't put it into words how grateful I really am."
