It fits perfectly! Back in December, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office announce its “K9 Han” service dog would receive some equipment that could protect him in the field. The vest is in.

K9 Han received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to the charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. The vest was embroidered with the sentiment “In memory of K9 Gunny, Mooresville, NC.”
