LOGANSPORT, Ind. — A Logansport Police Department K-9 will soon be added to the list of Indiana police dogs that have been offered extra protection through body armor donations from a nonprofit.
K-9 Snupy is the latest police dog to receive a bullet and stab-protective vest donated by Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. Snupy's vest will be embroidered with the line "Born to Love - Trained to Serve - Loyal Always."
The vest is expected to arrive in as little as eight weeks.
