They must be kidding.
South Dakota’s Rapid City Police Department unveiled the newest applicant to its K9 unit on Facebook last week: a pint-sized goat.
The department posted a clip of an officer leading the animal around a parked car in a mock tryout and flashed their comedic chops in the caption.

“While we herd his drug-sniffing and bad-guy-chasing abilities weren’t the ‘Greatest of All Time,’ he would totes goat the job if it was only based on being adorable!”
Goats weren’t the only animals that the Rapid City police were considering adding to their recruitment roster.
