Wake me up when I am “really” needed – K9 snoozes during his whole swearing-in ceremony

- Rhode Island, USA -

Monday, April 6, important day for Bristol Police Department and K9 Brody.

The 12-week-old full-bred Chocolate English Labrador Retriever napped on the chief’s desk while he was being sworn in as the town’s new comfort dog.

School Resource Officer, Keith Medeiros took the Oath of Office on his behalf.

Officer Brody was given to the Department from Boonefield Labradors, a breeder from Southern New Hampshire, and his name has a special meaning for the Department.

The “B” stands for Bristol, and the “Rody” stands for Rhode Island.

Bristol Police Chief, Kevin Lynch wanted to add a K-9 to the Department as the town’s new chief, and Officer Brody will be involved in the town’s school activities.

ABC6 reports that Chief Lynch said: “When I finished my interview for the town of Bristol, I told them that I planned on making a difference in this community, and this (Brody) is a very good example of making a difference for the town of Bristol.”

The Department plans on utilizing Officer Brody to reduce anxiety and assist communication between witnesses and investigators.

While in the school system, Officer Brody will help bridge the gap between school resource officers and the students while also reducing stress and assist in counseling and education sessions.

According to Chief Lynch, Officer Brody is “going to be the highlight, and a superstar of the town of Bristol”, just as soon as he wakes up.

Mystery solved; furry thief caught on camera

- Texas, Hidalgo County, USA -

There is an explanation for almost everything…….

When a couple of deliveries went missing, the Garza family thought they were dealing with a package thief in their McAllen home.

They then viewed footage from their doorbell camera to find out what was going on.

To their amazement, they discovered that the thief was a dog!

The footage recorded by the Ring doorbell camera shows a mailman dropping off a package while a black dog lies in wait in their backyard.

As soon as the delivery guy leaves, the furbaby makes his move and trots to the family’s doorstep, sniffs the package, and then picks it up and takes it away.

The pup is a neighborhood stray.

10-year-old Abby Garza, said: “It was kind of funny because nobody would ever expect a dog to steal a package.”

Abby was expecting an Easter basket that never arrived, or better yet, that she never got.

Apparently, this is not the first package that was taken by the neighborhood pirate who Abby has nicknamed Cody.

Abby said: “The first package was my mom’s clothes.”

The Garza family said neighbors will return packages to their rightful owners should they come across a box dropped by the dog in the wrong spot.

Abby, have you considered adopting Cody? You have already named him.

German Shepherd walks into police station after sneaking out on his sleeping dad

- Texas, USA -

A few days ago the Odessa Police Department shared something unusual on their Facebook page.

On Tuesday early morning, February 11, a German Shepherd walked into the station after running away from home.

Officers realized he did not intend to apply for a K-9 position, so they played with him for a while in the lobby with a tennis ball.

At some point officers called animal control to check for a microchip, but the canine ran off.

Officers looked for him but could not find him.

His human dad, Edward Alvarado, was home sleeping and had no idea of what was going on.

He found out after his nephew saw the dog’s pictures on social media, so he texted him and asked him: “Is that Chico?”

Meaww.com reports that Sergeant Rusty Martin said the following morning Alvarado called them to explain Chico was his dog and that he had returned home safely.

Alvarado said they live about a mile from the station.

The Department wrote in their Facebook post that Chico is welcome back anytime!
