Life on the streets is harsh and uncertain. As Officer Taverna and Officer Mercado returned to their station, a sweet puppy snuggled on Officer Taverna’s lap, showing complete admiration for his heroes. They named this adorable puppy “Hobart” after the street where they found him.
Although Hobart is still physically tiny, his heart is filled with love and gratitude for his heroes. The LAPD Hollywood Division awarded him an honorary K-9 title. Sadly, the ones without a home have no food, shelter, or safe space, and stray dogs in Los Angeles face an even worse situation.
Officer Mercado and Officer Taverna encountered this lovable puppy on Hobart Boulevard. The little puppy eyes begged for help, telling them he needed a fur parent. These LAPD officers couldn’t resist him and gave him to the local shelter, but the officers later learned that his owners had abandoned Hobart.
Hobart is so attached to Officer Mercado that he thinks everyone at the station loves him. This little puppy won the hearts of netizens when posted online by the LAPD, but most of all, he captured Officer Mercado’s heart by becoming a part of his family.
Despite his small size, Hobart has a significant impact on everyone. His story teaches us that even the smallest can have a big, thankful heart for those who help us in our lowest moments.
