Being a K-9 puppy is a tough job, especially for young recruits.
Monday, April 6, 2020, was a big day for Brody… the newest member of the Bristol Police Department, in Rhode Island.
His official swearing-in ceremony took place on that day.
The swearing-in ceremony is a very important moment for every new member of the community, which formally marks the beginning of the new position.
But, Brody’s swearing-in ceremony happened to be on Monday, and we all know how Mondays be like…
While I’m sure that Brody was very excited to start his new position, he seemed to be less interested in the ceremony and more interested in catching up on sleep.
This 12-week-old chocolate Labrador puppy managed to sleep through the entire swearing-in ceremony while his partner, officer Keith Medeiros, served as his stand-in.
The ceremony was broadcast live on the official Facebook page of the Bristol, R.I. Police Department, and it soon became a viral hit.
Brody was peacefully sleeping on the desk while Police Chief Kevin Lynch spoke passionately about the little guy.
He slept through the entire ceremony, only waking up shortly to pose for the photo.
Brody’s handler, officer Medeiros, told The Dodo, “He plays really hard, and he sleeps really hard. When he’s not playing, he’s sleeping, which is kind of tough because he sleeps a lot.”
It didn’t seem to matter to anyone that the puppy was sleeping because he looked very comfortable and cute.
