This is a follow-up to the tragic death of the Pittsburgh Police K-9, Rocco. A New England non-profit has raised $120,000 in three days to provide bullet- and stab-proof vests for police K-9s across the country. The vests will be embroidered with the words "In memory of Rocco, Pittsburgh Police K-9."
Groupon is supporting this campaign. From the article:
Go to
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. Deal of the Day | Groupon by March 5 to purchase a Groupon tax-deductible donation. The suggested donation is $10. K-9 vests purchased with money donated Feb. 15-March 5 will be embroidered with the Rocco tribute. The vests should be available in early June. Donations also can be mailed to Box 9, East Taunton, Mass. 02718.
