Are you ready for a pure and precious story to make your Thursday better?
In Tallahassee, Florida, a six year old boy called 911 because he was upset and lonely:
He told the 911 dispatcher that he was lonely and wanted a friend.
Officer Joe White from the Tallahassee police department responded to the call.
When he arrived, the boy asked if Joe would be his friend.
After a gentle reminder of "how 911 worked and was [only] for emergencies," Officer White said he would be happy to be the boy's friend.
The boy then got to sit in the police car and received a stuffed animal from the officer.
According to the TPD on Facebook, he "now has a friend at the Tallahassee Police Department!"
The community and several others outside of it are reveling at this cute story.

"Meteors coming into the Earth's atmosphere happen fairly often but we don't always get to see them," said CNN meteorologist Haley Brink.
"Nowadays we have so many satellites in space and cameras on the ground that these events are becoming more and more visible to the general public."
That's what we call awesome.
