Our Ambassador: K9 Cesar
June 28, 1998 – September 19, 2011
K9 Cesar, a long coated German Shepherd, served with the MBTA Transit Police in Massachusetts from December 1, 1999 through March 7, 2008 with Officer Nancy Hanley. Cesar was the ambassador for Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. since its inception in 2009. Cesar crossed the rainbow bridge on September 19, 2011, but his legacy – and our gratitude- live on.
