At 9:17 a.m., a Tampa Police Department officer went to a home and as he approached a woman, the woman said she was not so good because she lost her dog.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have him,\u201d the officer said. <\/p>\n

A dog missing in Tampa visited a police station, leading officers to reunite it with its owner.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The officer explained to the woman that before returning the dog, he took it to a veterinarian and had the dog\u2019s microchip examined to get the owner\u2019s information.<\/p>\n
The officer then reunited the dog with the woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had an unexpected K-9 applicant stop by our District Two office on September 30, 2026,\u201d the police department said in a Facebook post on Oct. 7. \u201cThis four-legged visitor was ready to join the team, but unfortunately, our K-9 roster is currently full. We made sure our hopeful recruit was safely reunited with his owner instead. He may not have gotten the job, but he definitely stole our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n
