When you\u2019re a police officer, you never know what surprises the job will bring. Recently, one Colorado officer responded to a call about a stolen car \u2014 and ended up making a very special new friend.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, officers from the Boulder Police Department located a stolen car, and took the occupants into custody, according to the department.<\/p>\n

But then, Officer Taylor noticed something unexpected in the backseat: a dog!<\/p>\n

The officer comforted the sweet dog, who was a bit scared and confused by the whole incident. \u201cHey pup! You friendly?\u201d he asks the dog. \u201cYou\u2019re just a little scared, I get it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor called the dog \u201cMiss Bonnie.\u201d After recovering her from the vehicle, the officers took her to the local humane society. Taylor left his contact information in case nobody came to pick her up.<\/p>\n

A week later, the humane society called him up and said no one had come for the dog. The Boulder Police Department wrote on Twitter that it is unclear if the dog belonged to the vehicle owner as the humane society does not release information about previous pet owners.<\/p>\n

So, Officer Taylor decided to adopt the dog himself! He said that Miss Bonnie has settled in well and gets along with his other dogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been just the cutest thing,\u201d Taylor said in a video shared by the Boulder Police Department.<\/p>\n

\u2018Is she friendly?\u2019<\/p>\n

Officer Taylor usually tries to leave work at work, but one incident a few weeks ago changed that. And for the better.<\/p>\n
