MEDFORD, Ore. — Two Medford police dogs have bulletproof vests thanks to the senior project of North Medford High School student Shyonna Leach.
She raised $4,000, and the two vests cost $2,200, so she donated the remainder to Jackson County Animal Care and Control.
The Mail Tribune reports her late father was a Medford police officer who started the canine unit.
