This is Cruiser. He's trained as a Community Resource Dog in Wrentham, Massachusetts. Last week he helped locate a missing elderly resident with dementia who had wandered away from home. For a job well done, Cruiser was rewarded with a hamburger. 14/10 (IG: officer_cruiser)

a photo of a blonde golden retriever named Cruiser, sitting on a wooden floor as he stares into the camera with an open mouth. in front of him is a burger that is cut into fourths.

Cruiser's head is poking out through several small human hands. he has the biggest smile on his face while the children are petting him.

Cruiser is sitting in the grass wearing sunglasses with his tongue out. he wanted to prove that he has a goofy side too

Not everything is terrible ♥️

A picture of the sunrise off my back deck this morning. There's an L shaped pond with a farmhouse and a barn off in the distance. The clouds are a deep pink reflecting off of the pond.

This window reflecting dawn looks like a painting

A rectangular window on the side of a building reflects the silhouette of tree branches against a vivid orange sky at sunrise. The exterior wall around the window is covered with horizontal siding panels.

a front-facing selfie of a small creature that looks identical to a red panda (though to an untrained eye one could mistake them for a pomeranian with red panda coloring). the fluffball is backlit by sunlight, and there is a tree with yellow leaves in the background.
