Police say this was not their usual suspect.
Chico, a one-year-old husky-German shepherd cross wandered into the Odessa police station in Texas after going for a midnight stroll last month. Sergeant Rusty Martin said: ‘It was as if he decided to pay the kind officers a visit to brighten up their day.’
Chico got plenty of love and attention, he added. ‘We had a tennis ball and threw it in the lobby for a bit. Everyone loved him.’
With his ID tag having fallen off his collar, animal welfare officers were contacted. But he wandered off before they arrived and found his own way home.
