Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s having a rough week — Department of Justice investigations, botched sex-crime investigations, etc.

To celebrate Arpaio’s comeuppance, we’re goin’ with the above photo of America’s self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff” cozyin’ up to his PR puppy for this week’s New Times You Write the Caption contest.

If you missed our post on the sheriff shamelessly using a puppy to deflect questions about botched sex-crime investigations, click here.

Here’s how you play You Write the Caption: We show you a picture (above) and you — in the comment section of this post — write what you think would be an appropriate caption.
