Puppies improve our lives in a variety of ways. Not only are they lovely and affectionate and make fantastic, loyal friends, but there are also innumerable working dogs out there who help those in need.

Puppies being trained at the K-9 Country Inn in Canada to one day operate as police service dogs.

The K-9 Country Inn pups go through a rigorous two-year training program that teaches them everything from obedience to social skills; everything that would help them serve others.

K-9 police see a wide range of individuals on the job, from toddlers to adults to other animals, and must be able to manage a variety of scenarios and places with ease.

An obedience exam is the final phase in the K-9 Country Inn Working Service Dog program; the furry students are evaluated to determine if they can obey their handlers’ directions and stay quiet and calm in the face of distractions and temptations.

So, one class of cute soon-to-be-graduates was escorted to the Stratford Festival, hustled into an 1800-seat theatre, and ordered to sit quietly at the feet of their handlers while the rest of the crowd saw Billy Elliot The Musical.

Apparently, all of the furry little students did exceptionally well, despite the fact that a couple of them did sneak a few glimpses at the screen.

A couple photos of the adorable puppies with their delighted faces peeking over the backs of the chairs instantly went viral.

The photographs of the cute K9s have since gone viral, with people absolutely taken aback by the delightfully wholesome situation.

The excellent boys and girls were happy to pass their test, and they’d be much happier to know that their photos brought so much joy to others.

After all, these adorable puppies have dedicated their life to assisting others and are always seeking for ways to satisfy and soothe people.

We are all quite proud of these tiny furballs.
