This police dog obliterated a carjacker with a tackle and the internet is in love

GOOD TACKLING DOG!

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

This Los Angeles police dog has some of the best tackling form you’ll see, and in a pressure situation no less.

A police pursuit following a car jacking left a suspect running after crashing his stolen car. There’s one thing he didn’t expect: A very good dog with the tenacity of a cornerback making a touchdown-saving tackle.

If this dog was at the combine, we’d marvel at its ability. Honestly, that’s a really solid broad jump, quickness, explosiveness, and solid pad level. Also I’d like to say the dog has zero character concerns, but it’ll take an in-depth interview with coworkers to determine if the dog has ever pooped on a rug or something.

The pup’s football ability wasn’t lost on Twitter.

Give this dog all the treats.
