K9 Shows Affection To His Partner During The Official Department Photoshoot

Aren’t dogs just the sweetest pets in the world? Even when they’re professionally-trained K9s for uncovering serious crime, that doesn’t mean that they’re out of affection for their handlers.

Kenobi, Indiana’s DNR K9 officer, posed with his long-time partner, Conservation Officer Levi Knach, for the picture. It was supposed to be just a regular photo session for the two, but Kenobi decided to seize the opportunity and shower his loving handler with love…

Who could maintain a serious face after Kenobi’s move… am I right? Even Levi, who has been a professional for years, couldn’t help but crack a big smile after his dog’s adorable move.

“While taking their portraits, Kenobi snuck in some affection. But, on the job, he is a trained working officer who tracks people and objects, such as ginseng,” wrote Indiana DNR on their official Instagram account

They may afford themselves to be relaxed during a casual photoshoot, but the truth is Levi and Kenobi make a fantastic police duo!

The two have been a team for quite some time, taking part in some of the most demanding tasks of the DNR Office. When they’re not taking cute photos, Kenobi and Levi are in the field working tirelessly to pursue criminals and make sure their community is safe.

They are very loved in their department and even on the streets, as the duo is always in a good mood, ready to serve their local community and help the people of Indiana.

The Duo Is Trained For Various Challenging Scenarios

Kenobi’s not a one-task dog. He has been trained for various challenging scenarios, such as tracking missing persons, pursuing criminals, uncovering evidence related to illegal activities, and identifying wildlife trafficking.

Other than that, Kenobi enjoys his job very much! He’s such a smart and obedient dog that loves being engaged in various activities. The truth is that being an officer totally goes hand in hand with his curious nature.

“Levi and Kenobi enforce the law with a vengeance. Both of them are entertaining and loaded with knowledge and experience.”

Eventually, the duo took the perfect photo for the department, but their “behind the scenes” moments will be long remembered. 

And, the “accidental pictures” of Kenobi’s affection towards Levi will serve as timeless proof of deep love and a beautiful relationship between K9 dogs and their handlers. 

We wish Levi and Kenobi only the best in life, and a lot of moments like these in the future! They sure deserve it!
