When you're a police officer, you never really know what kind of a day you're going to have. Officers Mercado and Tavera of the LAPD Hollywood division learned this firsthand during a routine patrol back in October.

What started as an ordinary day took an unexpected turn when they found themselves being chased. But this wasn't your typical chase involving suspects or criminals. No, this pursuit was led by a pint-sized, chocolate-colored pup!

As they drove along Hobart Boulevard, the officers noticed a tiny puppy darting after their patrol car. It quickly became apparent that the pup was determined to catch their attention. With his wagging tail and pleading eyes, he seemed to be pleading for help.

Mercado and Tavera couldn't ignore the persistent pup. Recognizing that he needed assistance, they decided to scoop him up and bring him to the safety of the police station. Once there, they gave him a fitting name: Hobart, after the street where they first encountered him.

Concerned about the pup's well-being, the officers checked to see if he had a home or if he had been abandoned. Despite their efforts, no owner came forward to claim him. However, Hobart quickly found a new friend in Officer Mercado, who took a liking to the adorable pup.

News of the heartwarming rescue spread quickly, with many people expressing interest in Hobart's fate. Although the LAPD initially took him to a shelter, Officer Mercado ultimately decided to adopt him, much to the delight of Hobart's newfound fans.

Since then, Hobart has flourished in his new home. Updates from his loving owner reveal that he's thriving, enjoying playtime with his toys and exploring the outdoors. Despite his small size, Hobart has captured the hearts of many, including his doting owner and the online community.

While some suggested that Hobart could join the K-9 unit, he's content being a cherished companion to Officer Mercado. Though he may be small, his impact is immeasurable. Watch the heartwarming moment when these officers met Hobart for the first time, and see how a simple act of kindness can change a life forever."
