(WXYZ) — K-9 officers face danger just like their handlers, but they often don't have the same kind of protection.
Like K-9 Ace, a 3-and-a-half-year-old Dutch Shepherd-Malinois mix who does not have a ballistic vest to help keep I'm safe.
But Vesting Oakland County Area K-9s is working to change that.
Ace is next up on the list for a K-9 Storm ballistic vest.
They are custom fit, light weight, and provide full body protection from bullets, knives, and blunt force attacks.
