Brunswick County K9s receive bulletproof vests

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY)– The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office announced their K9s are now sporting some new ballistic vests, thanks to a nationwide Groupon event.

They say that event raised more than $330,000 and helped dogs like their seven K9’s.

Event organizers say they will be providing 350 law enforcement dogs nationwide with the protective body armor in memory of a K9 who died in the line of duty in Pittsburg last year.
