I have to give credit to Sandy Marcal who started a non to for profit group called "Vested Interest in K9s" which assists police dogs around the nation since she is concerned for the welfare of the animals that work with their handlers in crime fighting. Marcal is one person who follows her passion of love for animals and filling the void of many police department who have no funds in their budgets to purchase bulletproof vests for their partners in crime who risk their lives to take down the criminals who will not hesitate to take the life of man's best friend when a German Shepherd is used to take them down. It is nice to see someone like Sandy Marcal using her passions of love for animals to use money that she gets from donations from social media to assist law enforcement officer equip their partners who are like their best friends to have some protection from getting shot by criminals on the job.

I hope many not for profit groups will follow Sandy's lead since the handlers of the dog will appreciate it beyond words.

It really makes a lot of sense for police dogs to have bullet-proof jackets.

Because criminals have no compassion in taking out a dog who is ready to take them down.

I salute and applaud the young woman who has actually been doing this fund raising for a while now. The K9s deserve and need protection especially since they are attached to the hip to their handlers and their family...

It is good that these types of organizations exist. The dogs that protect and serve deserve the same protections their human handlers have.

That is true since the handlers of the police dogs love their partner like their own children.

@Deepizzaguy A bond that can never be broken exists between the handler and the canine.

She is remarkable and I wish there were more people like her. I have had animals most of my life and would be lost if I never had the fun and pleasure of having them.

That is so true that if you took care of them, it was worth your time to have them as your companions.

@Deepizzaguy I even adopted a huge Newfoundland that was abused by her owner. She was a great dog and I already had one that was a Newfie and black Lab mixture.

This is a very nice news. A good protection is always better for the K9 dogs when they have missions.

K9 dogs need all of the protection that they get when they on a mission to catch criminals who will not think twice shooting at a dog who intends to subdue them in a battle.

Bulletproof vests are invaluable tools for the police dogs to use on the job.
