Many of us find ourselves wanting to grow up to be just like our moms and dads when we were children. Good parents become our go-to people when looking for advice and guidance when we become adults, and might even end up inspiring us to follow in their footsteps.

One particular father-son photo is warming hearts everywhere. Officer Andy Gould, who serves the Washington Police Department had a photo taken in his police car with his son back in 1998 according to KDKA News.

Michael, Andy’s son was only a child at the time, too small to reach the pedals of the police cruiser, but he already knew he wanted to grow up to be in the police force just like his dad. According to KDKA News, Michael wrote a caption on the photo saying,  “When I get bigger I’m going to be my dad’s partner and catch bad guys and burglars.”

Last year, the father-son duo decided to recreate the 20-year-old photo and placed it next to the original. The result? Priceless! The Auburn WA Police Department posted a photo of the recreation saying,

"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! As you can see, his son did follow his dad into law enforcement just as predicted in this Father’s Day card in 1998."

With the Gould men protecting the streets of Washington, it’s safe to say crime does not stand a chance!
