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.
