National Pet Day is April 11, although if you’re a pet owner, you know there’s not a day that goes by that you don’t celebrate your animal companion! It turns out that not only can pets steal our hearts, but they also contribute to overall cardiovascular health by lowering cortisol, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels.

WEST WARWICK K9 Volunteers?
Although the West Warwick Police have no actual K9's working for the department, these two guys decided that they wanted to give police work a try. They had escaped their yard and were located by one of our officers walking in the Crompton section of Town. When the officer got out to corral them (leaving his car door open), they both decided they wanted to take the cruiser for a ride and jumped into the front seat of the car. Their concerned mother came by a few seconds later and convinced them to go back home with her. We are not sure if police work is in their future, but rumor has it that they now prefer eating donuts instead of Milkbones.

Wear it well K9 Zeus!
Galesburg PD’s K9 Zeus received a donation of body armor from Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. K9 Zeus’ vest is sponsored by Nancy Pyron of Huson, Montana and is embroidered with the sentiment “Born to Love-Trained to Serve-Loyal Always”.
Zeus was acquired by the Galesburg Police Department in August 2019 and is 2 years old. He works alongside Officer Jacob Taylor and specializes in both the detection of illegal drugs as well as tracking of people and articles.
“We are very grateful to Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. and Nancy Pyron for the opportunity to obtain a protective vest for our K9 officer,” said Police Chief Russell Idle. “K9 officers play a valued role in our team and keeping them safe on the job is very important to our department.”
The program is open to dogs actively employed in the U.S. with law enforcement or related agencies who are certified and at least 20 months of age. New K9 graduates, as well as K9s with expired vests, are eligible to participate. https://bit.ly/39WX1jQ
