Calvert County K9s Gifted Brand New Body Armor

CALVERT COUNTY, Md. (WJZ) -- A couple of Calvert County's finest will be walking the beat in brand new body armor, thanks to a charitable donation.

A nonprofit has gifted Sheriff's Office K9s "Jax" and "Wolf" bullet and stab protective vests to help keep them safe in the line of duty. They were sponsored by Friends of Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat in Davidsonville.

The "Vested Interest in K9s" charity has provided over 1,700 vests to dogs of law enforcement in the U.S.

The program is open to new K9 graduates, as well as K9s with expired vests.
