10-year-old boy raises more than $415,000 to provide bulletproof vests for police dogs

Fortunately, there are animal heroes all over the world that work to protect animals and better their lives. They should be held up and hailed for the things they do and the difference they make.

Brady Snakovsky, a 10-year-old from Strongsville, Ohio, is one such hero. Two years ago, he learned that police dogs aren’t automatically issued with bulletproof vests like their handlers are, and that simply didn’t sit right with him. As per reports, the youngster was watching an episode of Live PD with his mom, Leah Tornabene, when he was drawn to the fact that police K-9s sometimes have to go into dangerous situations without the same level of protection as their handlers.This, for him, was unacceptable, and so he quickly decided he had to do something about it. He established a GoFundMe page in a bid to receive donations which would allow him to buy more vests for the brave dogs serving in the police force. In February of 2018, Brady had enough money to buy his first four vests for the Ohio State Troopers. From there, the only way was up.
