RIVERTON, Utah — Yes, there are still stories out there that have happy endings. A dog sheltered in a Brigham City animal shelter learned that after ending up in the most amazing of places.

Brigham City officials said the dog was in a local shelter when its staff noticed it may have the potential to be a police dog.

Testing by the Brigham City Police Department's K9 unit confirmed the dog had the "right stuff," but there was one problem: the department didn't currently need another K9 dog.

After the word was put out to other departments, the Riverton Police Department stepped up and has hired the pup for its K9 team!

The only thing left is to find a name for the new K9 member. Riverton PD is running a contest and has pared a list of 554 nominations to just seven, and allowing the public to CLICK HERE to pick its favorite.
