Sent to us from an officer who told us this was filmed last Wednesday afternoon at Riverside Veterinary Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana. Made us stop in our tracks and left us in TEARS. Here it is, in it's entirety:
"The officer is Sergeant Paul Greer. He's 41 years old. Fourteen-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
The dog is Bruno. A ten-year-old German Shepherd who served eight years as Paul's K9 partner before a joint condition ended his working career two years ago.
When Bruno retired from active duty, Paul adopted him immediately. Brought him home. Bruno spent his retirement on Paul's couch, on Paul's bed, in the passenger seat of Paul's personal truck.
The transition from working partner to household companion was seamless. Bruno had always been Paul's dog. The badge and the vest were just part of the job.
Over the past several months, Bruno's condition had declined steadily. The joint condition spread. He had difficulty getting up. Stopped eating regularly.
Paul had been managing Bruno's comfort with guidance from Dr. Angela Reese at Riverside for months. Last Tuesday evening, Bruno stopped getting up entirely. Paul called Dr. Reese that night. Wednesday afternoon, Paul drove Bruno to Riverside.
He carried Bruno in from the truck himself. Wouldn't let the techs take him. Paul's partner, Officer Dana Choi, came with him. She filmed quietly on her phone from the corner of the room.
She told us afterward that she asked Paul's permission before she started recording. He nodded.
Paul sat on the exam table with Bruno cradled across his lap and chest. Bruno's head rested against Paul's shoulder. His eyes were half-open. His breathing was slow and easy. Paul bowed his head and pressed his face into Bruno's fur. Bruno lay still for a long moment.
Then slowly — carefully — he raised both front paws. One at a time. And wrapped them around Paul's shoulders. And held on.
Paul made a sound that Dana said she will never forget. Dr. Reese, who was standing nearby preparing, went completely still. Her assistant took a step back. Nobody moved.
Dana told us: 'Bruno could barely lift his head that morning. But he lifted his paws and he held Paul. In that moment, with everything he had left, he held him. I think he was saying thank you. I think he was saying goodbye on his own terms.'
Paul stayed in that position for a long time. The room stayed quiet. Bruno passed away peacefully a short time later, held in Paul's arms.
Paul sent a message to his precinct group chat that evening. It said: 'Bruno is at rest. He was the best partner I ever had. Eight years on the force and two years at home. He worked hard and he loved hard and he went out the same way. Holding on.'
The precinct held a small informal memorial the following morning. Bruno's vest and badge number were framed and hung in the K9 unit hallway.
Some partners carry you through the hardest years of your life. And in the end, if you're very lucky, they find just enough strength to hold you one last time."

Stopped for gas in Kentucky… saw the sign ‘We have disco bathrooms’ and thought it was a joke 😂
Went in, spotted the big red button that said ‘DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON’… obviously I pushed it.
Next thing I know, lights out, disco ball spinning, and I’m having an impromptu dance party in the bathroom! 💃🕺✨ Who else is hitting every Hop Shop on the road trip now?!
Never trust a button that tells you not to push it! 😂

Baby hedgehogs look pretty much different from the grown up ones.
They are born a pale pink colour, and over the first few weeks of life, fur grows, and the skin gradually darkens as the brown spines come through.
This is what the internet was invented for.
In 1996, a King Penguin called Lala became a local celebrity in Shibushi, Japan. After being rescued from a fishing net by the Nishimoto family, he refused to return to the wild.
He lived in an air-conditioned room in their home and was famous for walking alone to the fish market wearing a tiny backpack.
The fishmonger would feed him a fresh fish and place another in his bag for the trip home.
