Kennel clubs help out police dogs
A lot of people don't know that the money raised by kennel clubs at dog shows is often used for charitable purposes. Here's a nice example.

Kennel clubs help out police dogs
Thanks to two kennel clubs in Pennsylvania, all 23 state police dog teams in the state will be supplied with canine first-aid kits.
The Kennel Clubs of Lancaster and Delaware County joined to donate $2,500 — money raised from dog-show entrance fees — for the kits, which include items such as dog-sized splints for broken legs and tools to pull glass out of paws.
Representatives of the state police will accept the kits at a presentation March 15 at the Celtic Classic Dog Show, a four-day event in the Toyota Arena of the York Expo Center, according to an article in the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal.
The Delaware County Kennel Club has also donated 14 K9 bulletproof vests to law enforcement agencies and K9 oxygen masks to fire companies in Delaware County.
