This is Maximus. Maximus is a 2-and-a-half-year-old German shepherd who works as a police dog for Vermont State Police.
Maximus has become a popular pup on social media, thanks to his Instagram and Facebook accounts showing the day-to-day life of a police dog.
Here he is writing up reports.
And doing some exercise.
He also has quite a talent for balancing things on his head.
His handler, State Trooper Nicholas Arlington, told BuzzFeed that Max has worked as a police dog for just over a year now, with his day consisting of training and patrol work.
"We got Maximus from a humane society," he said. "It's been all positive for him! It's really amazing!"
