We are excited to announce that K-9 Flash has been named the 2018 Law Enforcement Dog of the Year and is a finalist for the 2018 American Hero Dog Award in the national competition hosted by American Humane. A special thanks to all of you who voted and help her achieve such a title.
By being named Law Enforcement Dog of the Year, Flash won $2,500 for her charity partner, K9s4COPs. K9s4COP’s helps provide K9 units to communities and schools. As K9’s can be a large expense for police units, K9s4COPs ensures that cost doesn’t keep an officer from having their K9 partner.
