Everyone has a dream – even Mushu, a dog diagnosed with terminal cancer whose owners are determined to tick off her 'bucket list'.

With the help of Queensland Police in Mackay, Mushu took on the role of police dog for the day, visiting the Mackay Crime Prevention Unit and taking a ride in a police car.

Donning a snazzy pair of police-issue glasses, hat, and a high-vis vest, Mushu looked right at home in the passenger seat of a police patrol car with Constable Rachel Skill.

Queensland Police said they were approached by Mushu's owners, Kerry and Josh, to help them give Mushu a fine send-off and celebrate her time with her family.

Mushu's bucket list reportedly included a visit to a beauty parlour and up next, a visit to a retirement home.
