Somehow, mom missed this in the news last week, but a local police dog was killed in the line of duty. We honor the brave dog who goes in first to save the life of his human. Farewell Krijger, thank you for your brave service and gift. Run free in the green fields of Heaven.
Please go HERE for the story of his sacrifice.

As a result of this incident, Anderson Cooper and a former SEAL, Jimmy Hatch donated enough money to purchase ballistic vests for the entire K-9 unit. Thank you to these two dog-lovers! Go HERE for full story.

It is really sad that this baby passed away in the line of duty. We are glad that the dogs in the unit will now have K9 protective vests to wear.
