TULSA, Okla. - Police officers in Oklahoma took time to protect and serve four-legged members of their community over the weekend by helping them get some exercise.

The Tulsa Police Department helped volunteers at the nonprofit Redemption Paws walk more than 100 foster dogs on Saturday.

According to the post, the police department assisted in walking a total of 120 dogs in need of some love and physical activity. The rescue organization said the dogs all came from Texas.

“The help was very appreciated,” the shelter wrote alongside the adorable footage.
