Sam, who worked with West Midlands Police, is now living with the family who adopted him and has found a new best friend in little Elliott.
Elliott recently penned a letter to the police force promising to 'love him and look after him'.

The Cocker Spaniel is also a hit at the school gates with Elliott’s friends who love seeing him at the end of the school day.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We’re so happy that Sam has found his forever home.
"He is well and truly settling into retirement life and is even treated to warm sausages every morning.
"The four-legged retired crime fighter has earned them!"
