The Hamilton County Sheriff’s office on Monday, introduced one of its K-9s, “Quanto,” in a bulletproof vest.

Robin Scott of inVestinK-9 raised funding for the purchase of bulletproof vests for the K-9 partners of officers with the Chattanooga Police Department.

She’s now working to do the same for the K-9s who work with human partners at the Sheriff’s Office. Scott said, “This is a mission to provide vests that could save the life of a K-9 so a law enforcement officer won’t lose his or her partner in the line of duty.”
