The Bristol Police Department recently added an adorable pup to their team to help reduce stress around the community. Though everyone was so thrilled to welcome their new arrival, one ceremony attendee just couldn’t keep their eyes open!
The 12-week-old Chocolate Lab puppy named Brody was so excited about his police pup debut that he woke up extra early to prepare for his big day! Though he was looking forward to meeting each and every one of his new police partners, his tiring day resulted in him sleeping through his entire swearing-in ceremony.

Though Brody may have slept through his big debut, the citizens of Bristol still welcomed him into their community with open arms. In the weeks following his public nap, he was already getting to work and offering some much-needed support around town.
Brody is the Bristol Police Department’s first therapy and comfort dog in training. Once he has completed his training program he will be a huge source of happiness around town, and will make appearances at establishments that need his help the most. Brody and his handler will offer their assistance at local schools, libraries, senior centers, and any community event once gatherings are safe again!
