Stray Dog Walks Into Police Station, Gets A Job

ADVERTISEMENT

Malnourished and abused, Gorgi approached a Puerto Rico Police command center in the city of Bayamón. These fearful steps were about to change his life for good.

“He approached frightened and was looking for affection and protection,” Sgt. Tony Montesinos told The Dodo. “We gave him food and water that evening and after eating he stayed with us awhile and left.” The next day the dog came back. The officers were surprised by how friendly he was despite his apparently difficult past, and seeing how he enjoyed their company, they decided to adopt him.

Gorgi not only found a loving home, he also got a job – he became the station’s surveillance dog. He even has his own badge and a little vest! “He reduces tensions,” says Montesinos. “Everyone loves him. He will have everything he needs for as long as he lives.”

    The next day the dog came back…and the whole station decided to adopt him!

    Gorgi also got a job – he became the station’s surveillance dog!

    Though it often seems that his position is an honorary one…

    Gorgi also helps to reduce the stress the officers have to deal with at work

    This is great. Animal are such great stress releases, all workplaces should have therapy pet for the staff.

    I love the pic where Gorgi is sprawled out sleeping in his cozy bed. You can see just how much he appreciates having a safe place to stay, with regular meals and all the love he could want. This is a beautiful story... if only more people would take in a stray (cat or dog) and let them know what it's like to be loved by someone who will never hurt or abandon them!!

    <3 That's what being a policeman is all about: help, serve and protect. I think all Fire and police stations should have a rescue. It would help with everyone's stress.
