The dog named Chico left his home and somehow ended up in precinct of Odessa Police Department in Texas in wee hours of the morning. The police officers were in for a sweet surprise as the pooch was quiet friendly and played with them for a while. The police officers clicked a few pictures of this pet standing enthusiastically peaking over their desk. They shared the pictures of the dog over Facebook and they soon went viral.

On February 11, the officers at Odessa Police Department had a fluffy visitor. The officers looked out if there was an ID tag to match him with his owners. When they didn't find it, they called the animal control to come and check for a microchip. Meanwhile, Chico was friendly and played a little with the officers there. Sergeant Rusty Martin who was in the precinct told The Dodo, "We were all excited to have him in the building. We had a tennis ball and threw it in the lobby for a bit. Everyone loved on him." By the time the officials came in to check for the chip, Chico had left the police station and returned home. The officers posted about the pooch visitor on Facebook and joked probably the dog was checking up on a K9 vacancy. The post went viral with people wanting to help him reunite with his family. Dog Owner Breaks Down After Being Reunited With Long-Lost Pet, Emotional Video Goes Viral.
