A terminally ill dog named Eddie found wandering the streets of a Washington town for a month before being rescued is now living his best life.

Eddie is a sweet and loving dog diagnosed with an inoperable tumor that is causing him to go blind in one eye, KEPR reported. Eddie is believed to have only has six to 12 months to live.

Canine rescue group Mikey's Chance, along with Eddie's new owner, Kristi Kesler, developed a bucket list for the dog, full of fun experiences to make Eddie's remaining time enjoyable and memorable, KEPR reported.

One of Eddie's bucket list items was to "become an honorary K-9 officer." That's when the Pasco Police Department stepped up to answer the call of duty. They treated Eddie, affectionately known as Eddie Spaghetti, to a day with the city's police department. Eddie wore a custom-made uniform and rode in a police car to various spots around town, including a Petsmart, a Starbucks and a doughnut shop, KEPR reported.

The sweet moments were captured in photos and video and posted on the Pasco Police Department's Facebook page.
