Fur-Missile Artist Found In Mission Viejo

MISSION VIEJO, CA — Signs and posters, drawn by residents in support of police services, have appeared all month at Mission Viejo City Hall. Still, none has been more appreciated than one drawn for the K9 officers of Mission Viejo.

K9 officers take their work, and their dogs seriously.

So, after seeing the unsigned rendition of a K9 officer in flight, with the descriptor "Fur Missile," they first showed her how right she was over social media, and then did their best to seek out the young artist.

"Fur-missile? Why didn't we think of that?" Police Services Lt. Quyen Vuong wrote over social media.

Vuong used a comparison of MVPD Sergeant Ivins with his K9 officer, Diesel, in full "missile mode."

Then, officers put the call out to find the young artist and set up a special thank you, social distance style.

Scarlett, the young resident responsible for the adorable drawing, met MVPD K9 officers Rosco and Cento, who showed her "some of their impressive skills."

All wore masks, except the dogs who enjoyed the shade of a nearby tree after putting on their show.
