This is hilarious moment a California police officer gets pranked into believing he will have to part with his K9 partner dog and get paired with what turns out to be a baby goat as part of an April Fool’s joke.

Lieutenants Letras and Fainter from the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office played the lighthearted joke on Deputy Melao by presenting him with the goat while he was expecting another K9.

The sheriff’s office posted a video of the prank on social media, which showed Deputy Melao laughing along with his colleagues.

A hidden camera was set up in the lieutenant’s office to capture the prank.

While the joke may have caused a brief moment of confusion, it ultimately resulted in some harmless laughter among the team.
