Andy Murray is a very busy man during the championship fortnight at Wimbledon, but he found time in his packed schedule to stop by Henman Hill (or Murray Mound, if you prefer) to play with some puppies.

The dogs come from the Metropolitan Police Service, which is training them to be sniffer dogs to help fight against the illegal shipping of exotic animals into the U.K.

The video pretty much is as adorable as one would hope, although one dog does take advantage of all the greenery to handle some unsavory business, which doesn't faze the animal-loving Murray much.
