Massachusetts Vest-a-Dog, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support to MA police dogs, recently had a photoshoot for their 2015 calendar.

The $10 calendar can be purchased online and at select retailers. Proceeds support Massachusetts police dogs. Vest-a-Dog’s primary goal is to make sure every MA K-9 has a bulletproof vest.

They also help provide other essential equipment and necessary training. According to their website, they’ve provided almost 350 vests, which range from $1,006 to $2,400.

“While law enforcement agencies provide bullet-resistant vests for their human officers, they are unable to fund vests for K-9 officers. As K-9s are trained to give up their lives to protect their partners and all of us, we believe it is every bit as important to protect them.” – Protect-a-Vest’s “Why it matters” page

Jager is certified in patrol duty and narcotics detection, and works with trooper Tim Blackwell.

Visit their website to learn more about their organization or purchase a calendar to support pups like Tuco.

Tuco is a prospective K-9 in the care of patrol officer Troy Caisey, head trainer of the Boston Police K-9 unit. He's 6-months-old now, and ALMOST fills out his vest.
