A state's attorney's office in Illinois has welcomed its newest member: Hatty the black lab.

The 2-year-old dog was sworn into the Cook County State's Attorney's Office on Tuesday, placing her right paw over a law book during the ceremony.

Hatty will join the office to provide support to children who are victims of sexual assault, according to State's Attorney Kim Foxx.
