The Landmark of West Allis Gets a Special Visit from our Brave 4-Legged Friends!

After an exciting K-9 Unit Demonstration by Deputy Dan Dittberner and his dog Arras and Deputy Joel Stricher and his dog Rico, the residents and staff of The Landmark of West Allis and Carnegie Place wanted to do something in return. In order to show their gratitude to the special four legged friends that courageously put their lives on the line for our everyday, the residents of The Landmark and Carnegie Place pulled together and raised $285.00 for the WI Vest–A-Dog Program.

The goal of the VEST-A-DOG Program is to provide a bullet proof and stab proof vest for every police dog in Wisconsin. The vests are the only protection these K-9 officers have until their human partners arrive on the scene. Sadly, many law enforcement agencies and police departments do not have the funds to purchase body armor that can save the lives of their police dogs. The cost of each vest is $840. In Wisconsin, we have over 235 canine officers. Most of them do not have protection.
