Several weeks ago, we featured a heartbreaking story of a police dog named Jethro who was shot while he and his partner, Officer Ryan Davis, were responding to a burglary.
Jethro was hit by three bullets that resulted in brain trauma; he died the next day. The man responsible for shooting Jethro will be facing up to 57 years in prison if he gets convicted of the shooting.

A lot of people grieved for Jethro’s loss.

Office Davis received over 2,000 letters from people sending him their condolences. But one particular letter moved him–it was a letter from an 11-year-old girl named Allison.

Allison was heartbroken when she read about Jethro’s death. So in her own way, she wants to help K9s by giving her allowance to help fund for bulletproof vests for police dogs. Her sweet gesture touched the community. So much so, that the Cleveland Caveliers took time to honor her during a game.
