Delaware police K-9 unit dogs came out of the station donning new body armor designed to protect them from bullet and stab wounds Friday, all thanks to nonprofit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.
The Massachusetts-based organization, specializing in providing protective gear for canines in the line duty, awarded the potentially lifesaving vests to the New Castle police department law enforcement dogs.
The organization raised more than $11,000 in 2015 calendar sales, by selling more than 1300 calendars throughout the country.
Each vest costs $950 and has a five year warranty.
The nonprofit organization was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies in providing bullet and knife-proof jackets for canines in need. Since then, Vested Interested in K9s, Inc. has issued bulletproof vests to more than 1200 police dogs in the nation.
Currently, the organization is selling items on its website to support the cause. All proceeds from the sales will go toward providing K-9 officers with bullet and stab resistant armor.

Superstar Little League pitcher Mo’ne Davis proved she’s just as skilled on the hardwood as she is on the diamond during the NBA All-Star weekend celebrity basketball game Friday night.
The 13-year-old Taney Dragons ace went head to head with comedian Kevin Hart. Mo'ne drew "oohs" and "aaahs" from the crowd during one play in which she went around Hart with an impressive spin move before finishing with a layup.
The move was so good that not even Hart, known for his trash talking during the celebrity basketball games, could deny it.
“That was actually a good move,” Hart said during a timeout. “No excuses brother.”
Davis, who is only in the eighth grade, plays for varsity girls’ basketball team at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy and is a team captain as well.
Davis gained fame over the summer during her magical run during the Little League World Series in which she became the first girl to ever win a game in the tournament. She was also named the 2014 SI Sports Kid of the Year for her accomplishments.
Despite all of her baseball achievements, Davis has repeatedly said her first love is basketball and she hopes to one day play for the University of Connecticut.
