Police in Maine have outfitted two of their K9 officers with new winter booties and by the look of things, the dogs will need some time getting used to their paw-wear.
Portland police outfitted officers Barni and Trixie with some snow-ready booties to help keep their paws safe from the winter elements, like salt and sand.
Video shows the animals awkwardly showing off their boots, slapping around on the floor of the police department.
