Police Officer Marcus Montgomery may look intimidating in his uniform but the truth is, he is just a big softie at heart. Montgomery, who serves in Fort Walton Beach, met the cute puppy when he was sent to the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society or PAWS to check on a situation with a former employee.
According to BuzzFeed, the officer spoke with the employees for about 20 minutes, when one of the supervisors left. He was still talking to the director of PAWS, when the supervisor came back, carrying a little puppy.
He apparently took an immediate interest in the puppy as he noticed the dog had been sleeping since "his eyes were heavy and he was yawning constantly." Right then and there, he asked if he could hold the puppy.
Officer Montgomery giving his new potential family member some lovin'. Thank you for all you do for our community and for adopting from PAWS!

"When the supervisor brought him in, I just looked in his eyes as he yawned at me," he said. "And I told the supervisor, 'Don't bring him in here, because I will take him home right now.'"
The officer was also excited to say that the new puppy would be a great addition to his family. He shared that he and his girlfriend, Kristen Martin, have been wanting to get another dog, as their 4-year old rescue dog named Vader, loves to meet and play with other dogs.
He described the puppy, which he and his girlfriend later named Kylo, as just chill. He was not whining and barking and when he held him, he immediately just curled up and got comfortable in his arms. Needless to say, the adorable pup went home with the kind-hearted officer that same day.
Metro also shared that girlfriend, Martin, later took to Facebook and wrote about adopting the little guy and calling him Kylo. "He'll be a little brother to Vader," she wrote.
