Police puppy flunked for being too friendly gets adorable new job QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA - When you're training to become part of a police force, you need to be able to tackle whatever comes your way and still get the job done. Sadly for Gavel the puppy, he was not quite up to the task. But now, he's got a job fit for his warm and inviting personality. Gavel flunked out of police dog academy apparently because he was more interested in cuddling strangers than taking on criminals, and was called by many as too friendly. According to the BBC, Police in Australia said Gavel failed because he, "did not display the necessary aptitude for a life on the front line". Luckily, Gavel had been fostered by the Governor of Queensland, so the political leader stepped in with the perfect solution. Gavel was awarded the title Vice-Regal dog by Governor Paul De Jersey back in February, and now he's sharing their best moments on his Facebook page.

This group in South Africa typically rescues rhinos (hence the name), but recently rescued an orphan giraffe. In addition to it being cute, the orphanage's dog has become its guardian. Many pics on their IG page.
