Police dog quits job mid soccer match to become a SPORTS DOG

Good dog.

A good Bolivian police dog decided it was tired of watching a soccer game from the sidelines and became a SPORTS DOG in one valiant moment:

The match between Blooming and Nacional Potosí got interrupted in the 37th minute when the dog, tired of working, sprinted onto the pitch holding a second ball:

The dog, which appears to be a very good German Shepherd, chased the ball around for a while and even showed off some impressive skills, juking players and running the length of the pitch with a look of pure joy:

Finally police broke up the dog’s fun, leashing it and removing it from the field. Break time was over for this glorious pupper:

The dog had to return to its job of being a police dog, but for a few glorious moments it was able to chase its dream — and other players.
