Scouts buy vests for K-9 officers

Brownsburg - There is something so pure about a child's heart that allows them to work extra hard to raise hundreds of dollars and revel in the fact that all their hard work is rewarded with a badge.

Cub Scout Philip Gegner explains. "The K-9 officers came in and said the bulletproof vests were a lot of money and they needed more because the dogs were valuable to them. So we decided to raise money so they could protect their dogs."

Brownsburg Police Lt. Pat Bullock told us, "I've heard of lots of dogs getting shot and dying in the line of duty. So hopefully this will help prevent anything like that in the future."

Philip Gegner says they worked hard to get the money.
