Edinburgh police dog to receive protective vest

The Edinburgh Police Department’s police dog Batu will receive a bulletproof and stab protecting vest.

The not-for-profit Vested Interest in K9s group from Massachusetts provides the vests to dogs working in police and other agencies.

According to the department, Batu’s vest will be embroidered with the sentiment “In honor of K9 Ron”.

The group has provided more than 6,225 vests to K9s in all 50 states. The organization accepts donations and $1050 will sponsor one vest.
