WOLFEBORO — K-9 Atlas of Ossipee Police recently received a special gift from a boy who is raising money to equip furry officers with protective vests.
Aiden Moore, 8, has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a degenerative muscle disease, but that hasn't deterred him from his work. So far, he's outfitted seven dogs from around the country with custom bullet and stab-resistant vests from LOF Defence Systems in Canada which cost $1,200 a piece.Â
