I saw Yahoo Lifestyle share the story of Pawfficer Sage who is an officer at Illinois State University. The school shared a video of Pawfficer Sage living out a Taylor Swift song and there are nearly a million people that have now watched it.

It gets better. Turns out that Pawfficer Sage is a rescue dog that has now been with Illinois State University for 4 years based on a share a couple weeks ago on their official Facebook page.

Gotta love moments like this where a rescue dog who's serving an Illinois university ends up famous for being a "Swiftie". Thank you for your selfless service, Pawfficer Sage. Carry on.
