PORTLAND, Maine — Officer Gibbs and Officer Forbes of the Portland Police department took a break from their duties Wednesday to horse around for a while. 

A man named Gerry asked the officers if they would like to walk his house Hercules along the East End trail to bring joy to the people of Portland. The officers agreed and introduced Hercules to some smiling faces.
