A police dog took on an extra job this week: goat shepherd.

The Carmel Police Department shared the video of its “K9 cowboy” assisting in clearing a herd of 30 goats from off the roadway on Monday.

Pietro, the German shepherd employed by the department, “helped corral the goats quickly back into their pen,” the department said. 

It was not explained how the mass of goats had gotten loose in Mahopac Falls, New York, but Pietro acted true to his breed and rounded up the animals with the help of Officer DeSantola, according to the department.
