Adorably Shaggy Dog Assigns Himself A Job After Getting "Arrested" And Taken To The Station
There’s a saying, "If you can't beat them, join them," and this applies not just to people but also to animals. Dogs, in particular, embody this sentiment when they decide to join the "them," regardless of the circumstances. It's not every day we hear tales of an animal confidently strolling into a police station.
The charming shaggy dog in today's story, affectionately named Tate, found himself in a rather unusual situation after being "arrested" by the police in Wisconsin. One might wonder what this adorable creature did to deserve such treatment.
The answer is quite simple. Tate was discovered wandering the streets of Chippewa Falls without an owner in sight. A kind-hearted individual alerted the authorities, leading to Tate's "arrest" and subsequent visit to the police station.
While this scenario might be stressful for a typical mischievous pup, Tate appeared completely at ease as he entered the station. According to Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, an emotion researcher, "Animals often sense the emotional climate of their surroundings, and Tate's calm demeanor suggests he felt safe and welcomed."

A police spokesperson even remarked that Tate fit in quite well, highlighting the unique bond that can form between animals and humans in unexpected situations. ```

The police attempted to find his owner, and Tate decided to assign himself a task at the station: that of a greeter. He jumped up to the window for visitors and made himself available for any duty.

The spokesperson found the scenario very funny and entertaining. In the end, Tate wasn't issued a badge, but not to worry; he received plenty of pets.

The spokesperson said that they "all love having the dogs stop by so we can give them some water, treats, and, of course, some back rubs!" Notwithstanding Tate's clear eagerness to join the police force, it wasn't meant to be that way in the end.

Don’t worry; all the news isn’t awful, as the spokesperson announced that the lovely dog was finally returned to his owner, maybe with a hint of yearning for their one-time co-worker. "Having him with us was perfect," the spokesperson added, and we couldn’t agree more.
Tate wasn’t given a badge, of course, but he did get plenty of pets

It’s no secret that having a dog as a pet is one of the most rewarding things on earth. Tate’s owner must have searched for him everywhere because a smart and lively dog like this is truly a treasure.
