ALEXANDRIA PAWS/Where to Get their Tummies Washed and Scrubbed

Photo by Shariff elSheikh/Local Kicks There is a cleaner way of getting washed than the river, you know.

Dogtopia of Alexandria is hosting a K9 dog wash to support police dogs on Sunday July 19th from 11am-3pm.
 
A few years ago tragedy struck in Prince William County when a working K9 was accidentally shot by a fellow police officer who did not realize that it was a police K9.
 
To help prevent this from happening in Alexandria, this fundraiser will go towards the purchase of tracking harnesses for all of the Alexandria Police K-9's.
 
These harnesses clearly identify the canines as police K9's and are complete with police badges. The harness also have an infra-red light that can be tracked by a helicopter.
 
The harnesses will let everyone know they are police K9's and will hopefully ensure that a tragic accident will not happen in Alexandria.
