So, I never thought I\u2019d have my little brother tagging along with me at work, but here we are. He\u2019s only six, and lately, he\u2019s been super curious about what I actually do all day in my uniform. He asked about a hundred questions at breakfast, and before I knew it, I told him, \u201cAlright, you wanna see what it\u2019s really like?\u201d I checked with my supervisor, and somehow, we made it work for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I figured we\u2019d just hang around the station, maybe let him meet a few folks and see the police car up close. Instead, as soon as we got outside for a break, we ended up in the middle of a situation\u2014some neighborhood kids lost their puppy, and everyone was panicking. I was getting a dozen different stories at once, but my brother just stood there quietly, watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He tugs on my sleeve and says, \u201cI think the puppy\u2019s hiding under the old swing set. That\u2019s where I\u2019d go if I was scared.\u201d The parents looked at me, I shrugged, and we checked\u2014and sure enough, the puppy was wedged right underneath, shaking like a leaf. My brother crawled in and coaxed him out with his granola bar, calm as anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
