Fundraising Begins To Purchase Bullet-Resistant Vest For K9 Thor

The Cuba City Police Department is fundraising to purchase a bullet-resistant vest for its new K-9, Thor. Thor went through training last year and was certified Dec. 28. He officially will join the force soon, where he will be used in narcotics cases, area searches and suspect pursuits. The department seeks to raise $2,480 in collaboration with Keeping K-9s in Kevlar to purchase Thor a bullet-resistant vest. The vest protects dogs from stabbing, shrapnel and bullets, as well as barbed wire fences and other environmental hazards.
