In the series of photos, you’ll see Kenobi start licking Officer Knach’s face halfway through, as Knach smirks while trying to keep it calm and cool.

It’s most people’s dream to have their dog on their lap while at work, and luckily for Officer Knach, this dream has come true. When the two aren’t posing for photos or hard at work, you can find Kenobi cuddled up on his best friend’s lap.

Everyone has their own way of handling picture day, but Kenobi handled it with flying colors and made us smile in the process!
