After eight years on the police force, Labrador Smithy is putting his paws up. During his time, he demonstrated his social media skills were on point.

That furry complexion gained him a lot of attention on Twitter, so perhaps Instagram is his next move. Working freelance with some of his favourite brands would help them market to their customers by utilising his mass following. #puppydogeyes

Everyone needs an online community manager and what better pup to manage a forum than one that has been on the right side of the law.

Smithy’s career was built on his sense of smell, and there are a lot of sneaky suspects out there on the social channels. With a nose like his, Smithy could undoubtedly sniff out their online lies and bring them to justice!

However, maybe Smithy finally deserves a well-earned break. A YouTube channel about ‘How to retire in doggy style’ is much better suited.
