Join them if you can’t defeat them.
That, it seems, was the dog’s come-what-may motto when it was recently brought in by Wisconsin authorities.
Tate, the dog was discovered wandering the streets of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, with no sign of its owner. Tate was soon “arrested” and taken back to the station after a Good Samaritan made the decision to call the police.
For the normal scofflaw pup, this situation could be stressful, but not for Tate. He kept his composure. and still more.
According to a Chippewa Falls Police spokeswoman, “He fit in extremely nicely.”
Tate made the decision to give himself a position at the station, that of greeter, whilst the police searched for his owner.
He made himself available for any task by hopping up to the guest window.
“I thought it was so funny,” the spokesperson said. Tate wasn’t given a badge, of course, but he did get plenty of pets.
“We all love having the dogs stop by so we can give them some water, treats, and of course some back rubs!” the spokesperson said.
Tate may have been excited to join the force, but in the end, it wasn’t meant to be. It’s not all terrible news, either.
The police spokeswoman exclaimed, “The dog was returned to his owner!” and added, maybe with a hint of nostalgia for their former coworker:
Having him there was wonderful.
