Looks like police dogs in Wisconsin are one step closer to being protected in the line of duty thanks to Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals’ first annual “MECA Vest a K-9 Fest.” The event took place July 14 and raised more than $30,000. All proceeds went to MECA Wisconsin Police Canine Vest Foundation, Inc. The foundation plans not only to buy bullet- and stab-proof vests for police dogs but also help purchase police dogs.
The event drew in more than 1,200 people including Brewers players Cody Ransom, Mat Gamel and Martin Maldonado. Staff members and police departments were all very appreciative of the support – especially the dogs.
