While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school,
a policeman was interrupted by a little girl about six years
old. Looking up and down at his uniform, she asked, "Are you
a cop?"

"Yes," he answered, and continued writing the report.

"My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police.
Is that right?"

"Yes, that's right," he said.

"Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward him,
"would you please tie my shoe?"

It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front
of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner,
Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me.

"Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked.

"It sure is," I replied.

Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the
van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?"
