BRIGHTN, Colo. — The nonprofit Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. has sponsored a bullet and stab protective vest for the Adams County Sheriff's Office K9 Kahn.

The body armor is custom fitted for each dog in law enforcement and other related agencies throughout the United States. Each vest weighs 4-5 pounds, is National Institute of Justice certified, and comes with a five-year warranty.

Kahn's vest will arrive within ten weeks, according to the Adams County Sheriff's Office, and will be embroidered with "In honor of K9 Roam, Colorado Springs, CO."

Roam was stabbed on October 15 while helping bring a barricaded suspect into Colorado Springs Police Department custody. K9 Roam underwent several hours of surgery, including one in which his left hind leg was amputated.
