I am the first rabbit on the police force, so I take my job very seriously. Even
when I am sick, I take antibiotics and go to work anyway. It is a very
important job! The animals of zootopia need my help. For example,
yesterday I was in the middle of giving a ticket to an angry antisocial man
for smoking beneath an antismoking sign, when I got an important phone
call. The mayor had been poisoned! I ran as fast as I could to the hospital to
get the antidote. It was my big chance to save the day! But in the end, it
was just a mistake. No one had really poisoned the mayor. He had put too
much antiaging cream on his face! So, everyone thought he was poisoned.
It was such a funny sight!
