Sheriff Department April Fools’ Joke Trades K-9’s for Cute Police Felines

April Fools is always good for a few laughs. In 2020, we saw the restaurant Rita’s Ice unveil a Philly cheesesteak ice with cheese whiz?! Twitter decided it would develop an edit button, and McDonald’s clowned us with a Millennial Happy Meal.

But in the world of fuzzy critters, one Oklahoma Sheriff’s department decided to do something totally different.

Felines instead of K-9’s! April Fools!

Who needs drooly dogs when you can have fluffy kitties instead? And cats can do (most) anything a dog can do right? So the Oklahoma City Sheriff’s office released a video on April 1st 2022 announcing the replacement of their K-9 unit. But instead of pooches, a force of felines were going to do the job instead!

“We are capitalizing on those natural abilities to produce the best tactical feline program in the country. It’s the future of policing!” the sheriff’s office said.

Police Felines?

The video, posted on Facebook, shows Staff Sergent Bradley Wynn holding a black and white cat explaining the job of the purrfect cops.

The caption on the video originally posted by the department states,

“The three black and white police felines we are purchasing will take part in an extensive, 10 month training program in Colorado at a cost of about $10K each, paid for through a federal Homeland Security grant.”

Wow, $10,000? How much do you wanna bet the cats will still do as they please?

Some of the hilarious names of the “classic black and white model” of cats are Kujo and Bloodfang. Staff Sergent Wynn goes on to say that the cats take up a lot less space, and are better suited for narcotic training. The cats are supposedly trained with catnip but then later, Wynn jokes the nip is replaced with “more potent narcotics.”

Of course, the video is all in good fun. But it sounds pretty convincing! After all, we fully believe when Staff Sergeant Wynn says when cats latch on, they really “latch on!” (see image below)

Officer Froo Froo the Cat

This isn’t the first time police departments have played feline practical jokes. For example, in 2016, Cheif Eric Pratt played an April Fools joke on unsuspecting (and really friendly) motorists in Salina, Utah.

“Utah Police Chief Eric Pratt pretended his cat was a ‘drug-sniffing feline’ during a traffic stop on April Fools’ Day.” screenshot via NBC (see video below)

This time, “Officer Froo Froo” was his drug-sniffing cat. Officer Pratt told the people in the car that Officer Froo Froo would go to work detecting any unusual smells in the car. Moments later, Pratt revealed the April Fool’s joke, and the good-humored group seemed to get a genuine belly laugh out of it.

Funnily enough, Officer Froo Froo was a black and white kitty too! Perfect color combo for a police cat don’t you think?

We know we’ll see more funny feline pranks in the future!

50 Funny Pics Of Great Danes With No Regard For Their Size (New Pics)

April 5, 2023 by humorouz Leave a Comment

If there is the Gulliver of the canine world, it must be Great Danes. These dogs can grow up to a gravity-bending 175 pounds and stand at an impressive 32 inches tall.

But as huge as they are, they’re also goofy, friendly, and instantly loveable. It’s their good-hearted temper and impressive stature that make them one of the most interesting king-size furballs to observe.

So pull your seats closer, because Bored Panda prepared you a list of the funniest, silliest and craziest Great Danes living their great lives, clueless about just how much space they take up and how much we all love them.

Psst! More pics of these huggable and silly giants can be found in our previous features here and here.

Averaging up to 2 feet, 8 inches high, Great Danes are instantly recognizable as the world’s tallest dog breed. And while it often shares that title with Irish Wolfhounds, it was a Great Dane named Zeus who, at 3 feet, was deemed the world’s tallest dog.

The interesting fact about Great Deans is that millions grew up with them without knowing it. Remember “Scooby-Doo”? Devin Harris of Joplin, MO is the owner and operator of Great Danes of the Ozarks, argues that “‘Scooby-Doo’ creator Iwao Takamoto consulted a Great Dane breeder before designing the character but styled him with characteristics never seen in the breed, including a humpback, and bowed legs.”

#6 What An Amazing Dog

In our previous interview with Bill Lambert, the Head of Health and Welfare at The Kennel Club, we found out that Great Danes need more than 2 hours of exercise a day. Moreover, puppies and senior canines will require a lot less movement to avoid over-exercising.

Lambert explained that the Great Danes have a friendly and outgoing temperament and are sometimes referred to as gentle giants. “With that in mind, they are best suited to owners who have a larger house and garden in order to provide them with enough space for both exercise, mental stimulation and to express themselves,” he said.

The owners of these gentle giants also have to be prepared for bigger financial investments. “They need more food and more space, and you may need to adapt your home, ensuring your dog can’t reach things which a smaller dog wouldn’t be able to,” Lambert said.

“Training is essential with any dog, but especially with such a large breed it’s crucial that owners are able to exert control so that they can handle their dog more easily and understand their dog’s behavior.”
