A toddler from Oklahoma, USA, has won hearts online after dialing 911 to report an “emergency need for doughnuts.” The Moore Police Department shared the adorable exchange between the child, Bennett, and the dispatcher, which quickly went viral.
Toddler’s Unexpected 911 Call
Bennett first dialed 911 and spoke gibberish before hanging up. However, he soon called back and made a very specific request:
? “911, it is an emergency,” Bennett said.
? “An emergency?” the dispatcher asked.
? “Emergency doughnuts,” the child responded.
The lighthearted conversation continued, with the dispatcher jokingly asking if Bennett would share his doughnuts. The toddler then cheerfully ended the call, saying, “Bye! Have a good day. Boop!”
Police Surprise the Toddler
Instead of dismissing the call, the Moore Police Department decided to make Bennett’s wish come true. The next day, officers visited his home and delivered a box of Dunkin’ doughnuts, bringing a huge smile to his face.
They shared the moment on social media, captioning it:
? “Emergency Donuts: The Sequel! Bennett requested a doughnut emergency, and #MPD delivered! His smile and laughter said it all!”
Social Media Reactions
The heartwarming incident drew positive reactions online, with users appreciating the officers’ kind gesture:
- “I think we can all admit we’ve needed emergency doughnuts at some point!”
- “As a former police call handler, this would have been our monthly morale boost.”
- “This is adorable! A break from all the negative news.”
Parents and Police Respond
According to the Moore Police Department, Bennett used an old cellphone that still allows emergency calls but has no other functions. Officers reassured that while 911 should be used for real emergencies, they were happy to make an exception for this innocent and adorable request.
This story is a perfect reminder that sometimes, even in serious jobs, a little laughter and kindness can go a long way!
