Stray Dog Walks Into Police Station, Gets A Job

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.”
