Twenty years ago a little boy sat on his dad’s knee in a police patrol car and posed for a picture which was turned into a Father’s Day card.
A handwritten note explained that the youngster wanted to join the force and work alongside his dad, Officer Andy Gould.

Officer Gould serves with Auburn Police Department in Washington state, while his son is now a deputy with the King County Sheriff.
The picture was shared on Facebook by Auburn Police Department to mark Father’s Day,
“At 6’7″ it was a hard squeeze to fit Officer Gould’s son in his patrol vehicle on Father’s day this year, but they did it!” the department wrote on Facebook.
“As you can see, his son did follow his dad into law enforcement just as predicted in this Father’s Day card in 1998.
“Recreating the photo 20 years later was a wonderful tribute to father and son. Hope all you fathers out there had as wonderful a day as our own Officer Gould!”
