Taking care of the working dog

NASCAR's Tony Stewart has donated bulletproof vests for police dogs in five states.

Here's the story from USA Today.

The vests cost almost $900 each, according to information provided by the Tony Stewart Foundation. Stewart's contribution totals in excess of $35,000 for 40 vests.

The vests are bullet- and stab-proof, and so far Vest 'N P.D.P. Inc., a nonprofit that collects donations to purchase them has provided 169 vests to police dogs in 22 states, not including the recent donation by Stewart.
