A wonderful young man, Jim, a beautician at Euphoria arranged for the demonstration and the Salon donated yummy snacks and refreshments as well as a silent auction and a raffle for 6 hair appts. Jim donated 5% of his income that day toward the purchase of a vest(s). Patrons were generous and the result was fantastic. If you would like to learn more about this national effort and to make a tax deductable donation go here. . . . PRONTO!
Reminder: The theme day for November is "Heights."

what a good cause. i was up till 2am listening to our local scanner, a guy went on a killing spree in town last night. They caught him with the help of 3 police dogs.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad sight. How did we get here?
ReplyDeletewhat a great fundraiser...these brave pooches need protection!
ReplyDeleteGreat post about a great cause, Kate. I personally know and love two K-9 officers. The men who work with them are good guys, too.
ReplyDeleteThat dog looks very official and very proud to be wearing his vest.
ReplyDeletei'm about 25 miles from jim (above). a beautiful canine officer you featured. bless that hairdresser!
ReplyDeleteI am confused by your comment; Euphoria is a salon in St. Paul. What is the connection with Jim?
DeleteIt is a wonderful thing and every police/war dog should be outfitted with them. The price, though, is outrageous! About 10 times what they should cost. Whenever the government is involved it seems the private sector steps in to rip us off like those $4000 airplane toilets. :(
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lowell. I know that the equipment that the law enforcement personal need is way more expensive than it should be. Someone is making a killing on it. I love to watch the police dogs in action during the demonstrations that they have here. They are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm rather partial to police protection...canine and human!!!
ReplyDeleteLove these dogs and am so grateful for their service.
ReplyDeleteI would never want to be on the wrong end of one of their attacks.
The intensity in that wonderful dog's eyes is something. Nice photograph, Kate.
ReplyDeleteA good fundraiser. I hope the dogs get the needed protective vests.
ReplyDeleteThis is a PRIZE post!

Now that's a good looking cop.
ReplyDeleteWow - $950 is steep, but a fraction of what it costs to put a dog like that into service. How nice of the hairdresser to arrange a fundraiser. People tend to think that needed equipment always comes, when needed, from "somewhere." Sorta like the extra materials teachers bring to classrooms.
