Green told Weiner she and her partner had been arguing, and a cruel act had escalated the dispute.

''He ate the last two hot dogs in the house, which were supposed to be for the boys, and forced them to sit there and watch while he ate them,'' said Weiner.

Weiner went out of his way to assist the family, which included the great-grandmother raising two children. Rather than responding to the next call, the deputy and his partner visited a nearby grocery store to shop for the trio.

When asked why he decided to assist the family, the sheriff stated that it is something he does frequently because he often encounters people in trouble in his line of work.

''I just knew there was something that I could do, and I didn’t want to leave having that feeling later, knowing that in that situation, I could do more.''

The great-grandmother was overcome with emotion when the deputies came back with bags of groceries.

''It was not just an obligation or a duty. I think he did it because he cared ... he was a blessing' Green said.

The groceries may have fed Green's family that day, but Weiner's kindness continues to feed her soul.
