"This photo is a great reminder that deputies are human beings," the Collier county Sheriff's Office posted on its Facebook page. "They are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters….they have families at home that are praying for their safety every day."

The photo has stirred an outpouring of thanks for police officers in general and Deputy Dillman and his little girl in particular.

"What a special dad and daughter moment!" Cherie Taylor Shannon posted in comments on the photo.
