Two black bear cubs have their full lives ahead of them, thanks to the help of a Virginia State Trooper on Thursday.

The law-enforcement agency said Trooper D.H. Cepelnik rescued the cubs after their mother was struck and killed by a vehicle in Franklin County, located south of Roanoke.

Cepelnik was “#JustDoingHisJob” when he rescued the two small animals, police posted on Twitter.

The two critters are now safe and sound, and are receiving care at the Wildlife Center of Virginia.
