The first day of work can be nerve-wracking for anyone. You’re unfamiliar with the environment, hoping to make a good impression on your colleagues. However, one little guy took a more relaxed approach on his first day and ended up falling asleep on his boss’s desk during a crucial moment.
Meet Brody, the newest addition to the Bristol Police Department in Rhode Island. At just 12 weeks old, this adorable chocolate lab is serving as the department’s therapy dog. On his first day, during the most important part of his introduction, Brody surprised everyone by closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep right on the Chief of Police’s desk.
But there’s no need to worry; the Bristol Police Department was understanding of their cutest new officer’s behavior. After all, it was only his first day, and he probably didn’t realize that desks are not meant for napping. Maybe he was feeling a little tired from his new responsibilities, or perhaps he had some first-day jitters and didn’t sleep well the night before. Whatever the reason, Brody was so exhausted that he peacefully dozed off during his swearing-in ceremony.
While his fellow officers were busy conducting the ceremony, Brody blissfully slept, completely unaware that important police business was taking place around him. “We put him down on the desk, and he was just so comfortable that he laid down and fell asleep,” said Officer Keith Medeiros, Brody’s handler.
Brody’s need for a nap is understandable considering his young age and the demands of his important role. “He plays really hard, and he sleeps really hard,” Medeiros explained. “When he’s not playing, he’s sleeping, which is kind of tough because he sleeps a lot.”
However, Brody’s rest is essential, as he has a lot to learn and will be kept busy in the future. As the department’s therapy dog, he will be involved in activities with the local schools and play a crucial role in community outreach efforts. Brody’s presence is expected to help reduce stress and anxiety for both witnesses and investigators, enhancing the overall well-being of the community.
While Brody’s sleepy antics may have stolen the spotlight during his swearing-in ceremony, there’s no doubt that this adorable pup will grow up to excel in his job, even as he outgrows the need for frequent naps. The Bristol Police Department is excited for Brody to meet the community members and students in the Bristol-Warren Regional School District, forging meaningful connections and making a positive impact.
We hope you enjoyed these heartwarming pictures of Brody’s first day on the job. Don’t hesitate to share this delightful story with your friends and spread some smiles.
