Brave dog Bandit (22 photos)

year-old German Shepherd returned to official duties, moving away from the wound in the neck after the raid on the robbers. Dog Bandit arrested four suspects. The public is so much worried about the life and destiny of the Bandit that County residents have collected 20 000 dollars for bulletproof vests for the entire group. Each vest costs about 2200 dollars - more than the vest for man. Vests too hot and heavy, so the dog will not wear them during daily patrols. But in extreme cases, they are simply necessary.
