The Floyd County Sheriff's Office has recently received a donation from vested interest in canines for bullet and stab protective vests for canine Mako. The vest ensures Mako has the same protection as officers and honors the memory of canine Drago. Sergeant Newsom came up with the idea to honor Drago with this vest. He was Drago's handler, of course, and we all know what happened to Drago about a year and a half ago now. He requested that the company embroider Drago's name so it has canine in memory of canine Drago and has his end of watch date on it, so that's really special. We're never going to forget about Drago, but that reminds us every time someone sees Mako, they'll know, you know, they'll also think of Drago, so it's a really nice vest. The vest that they purchase are about $1,800 apiece, so it's a big help to our agency that we get those, and it protects Mako, and it also honors Drago. Canine Mako is a dual-purpose dog trained in tracking, locating missing persons, and locating narcotics. The dogs are an important tool, and the dogs are a tool, but they're also part of our family. We all really respect the dogs, and our canine handlers, you know, they live with these dogs. It's a 365-day job with the dogs, and they become part of their family, so even though they're a tool, they're also, we don't treat them that way, they're part of the family, so we want to make sure that Mako and our other canines are all protected the same as we are, and they all have the same training and the same level of protection.
