Police officers in Colombia made a family's day when they showed up at their doorstep with a very cute surprise. The family's pet dog had been sadly stoned to death by a man now in custody, and the three young boys of the family were especially hurting. The dog had been a gift from the boys' older brother who had saved up his money just to purchase the pooch. Police decided to present them with a new furry friend, who they promptly named Mateo. Dogs just have a way of making everything a little bit better!
