10-year-old buys bulletproof vest for K9 officer
HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) — A 10-year-old Massachusetts girl says she donated her birthday money to help out a K9 officer from her local police department.
Allison Henry of Palmer raised enough money for the Holyoke Police Department to buy a bulletproof vest for a K9 officer named Ryker.
Her mother found out about Ryker through a group called Vested Interest in K9s.
As a result, Allison decided that instead of birthday presents this year, she would ask for donations to help get Ryker a vest.
