The money raised is enough to buy a vest for the new dog and the extra will go to the K9 fund to pay for medicine, toys, food and vet bills. The officers of the Pataskala Police Department were very thankful for our fundraiser and offered to come to Otterbein University and put on a K9 Demonstration, which was very successful. Providing this protective vest for the new dog will keep him safe as he works everyday to fight crime in his community. Hopefully, he will be able to work for many years to come. Additionally, we hope to increase communications with Otterbein and the Pataskala, Heath and Newark Police Departments so that when a new need arises, other students will be able to step up and help
