Sergeant Tony Marshall visited a nursing home in London to speak about scams and crime prevention, but it was his police dogs that stole the show.
Five dogs tagged along with him to the Star and Garter residential care home, including 11-week-old Daisy. Like Winston, the Great Pyrenees who makes elderly people smile at a nursing home in Texas, these dogs made the day of many residents.
"However, sadly some residents were unable to come downstairs due to their conditions/abilities. Sgt Marshall and the dog handler didn’t want them to miss out and decided to take 11 week old puppy Daisy to them," the Kingston Police explained on its Facebook page.
One patient in particular, Muriel Hiorns, made the nursing staff emotional with her response to the pup.
"I was shocked to see Muriel’s reaction and I would like to thank the Star & Garter for having me, it was a great opportunity and something I will remember for the rest of my life," Sergeant Marshall said.

When an officer from the Kingston Police Department in London visited a nursing home for duty, he had no idea the impact his police dogs would have on residents.
One in particular was Muriel, who had been at the home for a few months before little Daisy showed up.
According to the nurses, she's usually "very quiet and doesn’t show much emotion."
But when the senior saw the dog, her whole demeanor changed.
The dog hopped on Muriel’s bed and she couldn’t help but smile.
“This sort of reaction is so unusual for Muriel that it caused her nurse to cry,” the Kingston Police Department wrote on Facebook.
Like the nurse, many viewers were also touched.
It's so heartwarming to see how a pooch can brighten up a person's day. Please SHARE if you are happy these two got to meet!
