Milford police K-9 Zeus is getting a new ballistic vest, thanks to a charity organization based in Massachusetts.
According to the Milford Police Department, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. raised $1,900 for Zeus' vest, which is both bulletproof and stab-proof.
Zeus, a 2-year-old German Shepherd, graduated in December 2014 from the Connecticut State Police K-9 Training Troop and works alongside Officer Emily Covelli.
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., a nonprofit located in East Taunton, Massachusetts, has provided ballistic vests to 1,317 dogs in 49 states since its founding in 2009.
