BURLINGTON, N.C. — Three Burlington police dogs will soon be a even safer while on the job.
Last week, K9s Cairo, Koda, and Gunner were all fitted for custom-made ballistic vests designed to protect them in violent or disaster situations.
Representatives from the organization Spike's K9 fund came to Burlington to get the dogs' measurements.
