Alabama Police Dog Shows Officers How To Do Push-Ups

If you're struggling to get motivated for your Friday workout, try taking a leaf out of Nitro's book. Watch as K9 Nitro, Officer Cowan and Officer Hancock get warmed up and ready to apprehend the bad guys that break the law!

This video of an Alabama police dog doing push-ups with his fellow officers became an internet sensation. Police dog called Nitro became a star after the video of him doing push-ups with two fellow officers from the Gulf Shores Police Department went viral. Way to go Nitro!

This enthusiastic canine is doggedly shadowing his comrades-in-uniform performing push-ups. The two-year-old Dutch Shepherd rises up and down in perfect synchronisation with his fellow officers Cowan and Hancock as the 'Eye of the Tiger' song can be heard playing in the background.

Nitro has only been in the force since February, but it is clear he is already enjoying the thrill of the fight. This video was produced as part of the department's '9pm routine', a social media campaign encouraging local residents to lock up their cars and homes at the end of the night. This seven-second video is part of a social media trend which was started by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Department in Florida. Keep up the pawsome work, Nitro!
