Fun Police
Officer Gates on high alert

Sunny is a chihuahua mix with a reputation that precedes him. This pint-sized enforcer has appointed himself the Fun Police of Lake Maspenock. At any gathering where dogs and humans dare to enjoy themselves too freely, Sunny swoops in to restore order. His judgment is swift. His bark is mighty. No party is too fabulous to interrupt.

Sunny’s official duty station is the window; however, his favorite station is the dock, where he wages war against unsuspecting fish. He hurls insults at them from a safe distance. The fish have yet to return fire.

His talent for shutting down good times earned him the nickname “Buzzkill” in certain circles. Officer Gates wears this badge proudly. In fact, he once showed up to the Halloween party dressed as a cop—because why not? He might as well look the part.
