Being a police dog is demanding, extremely physical and dangerous. So this woman wanted to help the canine cops survive the beat.
The last will and testament of Pamela Mobbs—a 90-year-old Florida resident and lifelong dog-lover who passed away in October 2020—left over $32,000 to her local Sheriff's Department to purchase protective armor for its K-9 unit of police dogs.
Jane Mobbs once took her mother to see a K-9 police dog demonstration on a boardwalk near Daytona Beach. Her mother reportedly"completely fell in love.""My mother wholeheartedly believed all the K-9s should be fitted with bulletproof vests as they often go into uncertain areas first to help apprehend suspects," Jane Mobbs told the aforementioned news station."She would be so happy to know that she is making a difference in a dog's well-being.
The job is demanding, extremely physical and dangerous, according to Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood. Two of the department's dogs were shot and wounded in 2020.
