Another local police dog has a new look when on the job.
Dubois County Sheriff’s Office K-9, Chase, received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from the non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. this week.
K9 Chase’s vest is sponsored by Diane Thalmann of La Porte, Indiana, and is embroidered with the sentiment “Born to Love-Trained to Serve-Loyal Always”.
Chase was also awarded a “Healthcare for K9 Heroes” grant through the organization.
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., established in 2009, is a 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States.
