"Sam is a Yorkshire Terrier," it read in part. "His size also makes it easy for a patrol officer to store and deploy."
In the post, the K-9 was pictured wearing bomb squad gear and protective goggles.

"Oh I'm so sad this is a joke," one viewer wrote.
"This has to be April fools," another wrote. "I have a Chihuahua you could draft?"
ABC11 has confirmed with the department that the post is, in fact, an April Fools' Day joke.
