Meet Percy, the police rabbit.
Some bunny — also known as Officer Ashley Carson — found a lost rabbit last year in the middle of Percy Avenue in Yuba City, California.
Carson scurried back to the police station and handed the rabbit over to animal control, who could find neither hide nor hare of the bunny's family.

The Yuba City Police Department — about 40 hopping miles north of Sacramento — announced the rabbit's promotion to the rank of “wellness officer” just days before Easter Sunday.the department wrote on Facebook Wednesday.Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
