Meet police horse Jake, a veteran of 15 years who will not start his shift without a big cup of tea. Jake is with the Merseyside Police Mounted Section in the UK. After mischievously sticking his tongue in his rider's morning cup of tea, Jake fell in love with the hot drink and picked up this English tradition.
In the 15 years he has has loyally worked for the Merseyside Police’s mounted patrol unit in Liverpool, Jake the equine has developed an obsession with drinking sugary tea in his later years.
"I'd definitely describe Jake as a horse with a lot of character,” Lindsey Gaven, the manager and trainer of the Merseyside Police’s mounted unit, told news British agency SWNS.
"We've all learned his tea order — he'll deal with one sugar, but is definitely happier when you remember to give him two," Gaven joked. "If you're at the side of the stable and he sees you with a mug in your hand, you can guarantee he'll trot on over to try and steal a slurp!"
Jake will even patiently wait in his stall each morning for his oversized cup of tea and has no qualms “begging” those around the barn for more, SWNS reports.
