And though he's one of four dogs on the Santa Clara department's K-9 Unit, only three of the force's canine cops come equipped with bulletproof vests. The dogs only work on felony crimes — usually to track potentially violent suspects, and occasionally to disable them — so they are almost always in harm's way.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.insidebayarea.com/bay-area-living/ci_12868994"><P>Cezar and Bell were part of an effort Saturday by Pet Food Express to raise money so that when Bay Area police dogs go into the line of fire, they're wearing bulletproof vests, just like their human partners.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.insidebayarea.com/bay-area-living/ci_12868994">The company's 34 stores donated the proceeds from every $15 do-it-yourself-dog-wash token it sold to the Western States Police Canine Association. By the end of the day, nine people had walked into stores and donated the $1,200 that a single vest costs. And even before the stores had closed for the night, more than $34,000 had been raised</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FFC1A8AA-956A-425F-AFEC-9D168B0BC6A7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
