All this little boy wanted was a hug from a police officer

An Oklahoma City Police officer made a little boy's day yesterday when he fulfilled a simple request. The boy wanted a hug.

A group of officers was out on a call when they were approached by the boy, who according to the Oklahoma City Police Facebook page, "put his arms out and asked officers for a hug."

Despite what was surely a busy day filled with crime fighting, Officer Kreig Cook obliged, bending down and giving the obviously thrilled little guy a squeeze.
