An organization that provides body armor for police dogs has donated a ballistic vest to the McCracken County Sheriff's Office. 

Protecting K9 Heroes says K9 Bobi has been given a vest. K9 Bobi is a two and a half-year-old German Shepherd Belgian Malinois mix, and is partnered with Deputy Latta.

The gift of protection was made possible by donations to Protecting K9 Heroes and sponsored by Jill and Marcel Paillard of Pennsylvania and In Memory of Charlotte and Dennis.

K9 Bobi previously received a Protecting K9 Heroes Trauma kit and Narcan Kit. Naloxone, also known as Narcan, blocks the effects of opioids and reverses overdoses within 2-5 minutes. Each kit includes one 4 Mg device as well as a Narcan Holster.

Protecting K9 Heroes NFP Ltd is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that is operated on a 100% volunteer basis. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation or helping to protect a K9, you may donate through the organization's website at the link below, or checks can be mailed to: Protecting K9 Heroes P.O.
