The wisest choice for humanity was made by someone thousands of years ago when they domesticated dogs. We have adorable friends who brighten our lives, even when they get into trouble.

Dogs not only increase our happiness but can also be trained to help people in a variety of jobs, such as law enforcement. According to Dr. Angela Duckworth, a psychologist known for her research on grit and perseverance, "The bond between humans and dogs can enhance emotional well-being and resilience."

The newest additions to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office in Colorado are sure to win over everyone they meet. K9 Otis and K9 Bear, with their fluffy coats and puppy eyes, are ready to report for duty as therapy dogs.

They will be making appearances at local schools, offering kids comfort and cheerful smiles. An important swearing-in ceremony is fitting for such a serious job.

The puppies posed for official photos that turned out to be adorable while sporting their official vests and badges. However, all that enthusiasm came at a price, and Bear began to nod off.

Everyone's hearts were warmed by the police puppy who fell asleep during the ceremony, showing just how exhausted he was. As noted by Dr. John Gottman, a leading relationship expert, "The presence of pets can significantly reduce stress and create a sense of calm."

Otis took over and was enthusiastic enough for both of them. He listened intently to the official oath and raised his paw like a true officer.

Otis is undoubtedly prepared for the demands of his new position, and we have no doubts about his ability to succeed. To the amazement of everyone there, Bear eventually perked up and decided to have a puppy playfight.

Otis apparently was much more active than his compatriot.

These cute puppies have long-term training ahead of them. They will need to learn how to help kids during stressful situations in addition to learning not to nod off during key events.

The stress hormone cortisol is lowered by petting dogs, and Bear and Otis are eager to be petted!

K9 canines are carefully chosen; not every cute dog is suited for this kind of work. Fortunately, K9 Bear and Otis have the ideal dispositions for this role.

We can't help but smile at them, so we know they will spread happiness wherever they go. It's great to see that law enforcement understands the value of therapy animals in providing comfort to people.

Look at all that shine.

A person's childhood is typically the happiest period of their life, full of adventure and joy. Regrettably, there are frightening things in the world that could endanger children.

In a perfect world, every child would be secure and safe.

Ensuring that children feel secure and content while they are around is a significant duty.

Discussing the negative experiences that children have faced is unsettling. These dogs sense the children's unease and soothe them by placing their heads on their laps or giving them a gentle nudge.

A four-legged buddy can make the healing process go more smoothly.

Let's not pass judgment on baby Bear for being tired; we've all had days when we felt like going back to bed to sleep right away. His more composed personality may be just what some kids need in trying times—a kind confidant with whom they can share all of their secrets.

They still need to grow into their large dog vests and learn not to play fight during significant occasions, so they have a long way to go. We wish K9 Otis and K9 Bear the best of luck as they take on this very important responsibility.
