In our time of need, it’s often policemen that run to our aid, as during this case. However, it wasn’t an individual posing for help. Rather, it had been a small lost puppy that knew where to show when he needed help.

This small pupper was wandering the streets of l. a. when he saw two cops walking down the sidewalk. Apparently, the pup knew he needed immediate help because he ran on his four tiny legs up to the officer’s feet. Officer Taverna and Officer Mercado looked down at the pup and immediately took pity on him. Knowing there was no way such a young dog would survive for long on his own, they scooped him up and took him back to the station.

Well, the journey in the car set the course for the pup’s little life because as they rode along, he started bonding with Officer Mercado by snuggling into his legs, surely knowing he was finally safe. Once at the station, the officers named the puppy Hobart, after the road they found him on. They also made him an honorary K-9. All the officers loved Hobart but it had been Officer Mercado that Hobart had eyes for.

Granting him his wish, Officer Mercado adopted Hobart and gave him his forever home. The two are very happy together now. The Los Angeles Police Department shared their stories on Twitter, which attracted a lot of attention.
