Working for countless weekends they would setup their table at various locations seeking donations to provide Bullet Proof vests for Police K-9’s on their own time and at their own expense.
A hero in our eyes, and a true friend to Law Enforcement and their K-9’s. She is directly responsible for soliciting the donations to buy the vests for K-9 “Irko” of the Chatsworth Police Dept., and K-9’s “Spike”, “Rudy” and “Tipsy” of the Murray County Sheriffs Office. Thank You, Robin!
