It’s impossible to resist taking selfies with your dog. Even when the pooch in question is also your coworker.
A police officer from Texas along with his service dog have unintentionally gone viral after a woman captured the pair taking selfies together.
Officer Andre Cloyd and his pooch Zigi were patrolling at Love Field Airport when a woman captured a series of adorable photos of the work partners posing for selfies together.

Gina Anzaldua uploaded the photos to Dogspotting Society, a group on Facebook, and explained to the members how Cloyd was showing each picture to Zigi after taking it.
The photos quickly went viral and Gina discovered that the handsome pooch was in fact the officer’s K9 partner, a 3 ½-year-old German shepherd.

Speaking to 5NBC, Andre revealed that he and Zigi do everything together:
“They captured what’s just everyday life for us. We weren’t doing anything special,” the officer explained. “We take photos together, we watch movies together, we go to the gym together.”

He went on to reveal that being a part of the Dallas Police Department’s K-9 Unit is an ‘honor’ because he’s been an animal lover his whole life.
“To get paid to do something you’ve loved since the age of four, it’s a privilege, definitely. Zigi’s the star, but even more so, we’re just a small piece of a unit, a department and a law enforcement community that does everything we can to ensure the safety of the passengers.”

These two are clearly devoted partners who aren’t afraid to have some fun together! What an absolutely incredible partnership, the pair have. We don’t deserve you, Zigi!
