Great story! It's nice to see that these wonderful dogs are getting more protection. They put their lives in harm's way for us and it's great that we can do something to help them narrow their chances of being severely injured or killed in the line of duty.

I remember months ago a lot of talk about trying to raise funds for these vests. No one seemed to really sell me on the idea but after some thought it makes a lot of sense. These aren't your every day canines, these are valuable dogs with immesurable skills and training. Well worth the price tag if you ask me now.
