Officers from Columbus Division of Police and Marysville Police, along with therapy dog Mercy, had an amazing time interacting with the athletes and their families at the volleyball events during Special Olympics Ohio. The atmosphere was filled with energy, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
One memorable anecdote we overheard was an athlete excitedly telling his friend, "You see that cop? He's 6 feet five inches, but that Ohio State volleyball player is even taller than he is! That almost never happens." We were just as surprised as the athlete was! It was so much fun!
The officers and Mercy enjoyed every moment, from cheering on the teams to sharing stories and high-fives. The connection and joy shared with the athletes and their families made the day truly special.
Just a few more Special Olympics posts to come, but they're fun ones. Stay tuned for more heartwarming highlights!
