PERRY, Ga. — A good boy in Central Georgia is getting a little extra protection.
Perry Police Department's K9 friend Dagger received a protective bullet and stab vest from a non-profit, Vested Interested in K9s.
It was sponsored by Don and Misty Fike of Galesburg, Ill., and on top of the extra protection, the vest will have an embroidered phrase: "Born to Love-Trained to serve-Loyal always."
The vest, which the department expects to arrive in around eight to ten weeks, weights around 5lbs, they say.
According to the press release, the vest has a value of around $1,900, but sponsors are on the hook for $987.
