His handler, Sergeant Mike Thompson, says a K-9 officer is truly a partner.

“Something that may calm the handler after seeing a certain scene is just your dog putting his paw on your shoulder while you’re sitting in a car, kind of one of those silent you’re going to be okay,” explained Sgt. Thompson.

“We understand the difficulties of creating a K-9 department or sustaining one and it’s a very, very large expense and not all police departments are able to cover that and we’re in the position that we can, so we have just decided to make that our mission,” Deanna DePaço said.

The DePaço’s have donated almost a dozen trained K-9s nationwide and will travel Wednesday to Harrisonburg for another donation to the police department there.

St. Baldrick’s Foundation Thanks Summit Nutritionals International ®

St Baldricks - Summit Nutritionals International

Hi Caesar,

I just wanted to thank you personally for what you’ve done for kids with cancer.

Your support this year meant more than you know. For our researchers, it meant they could keep working on their research projects. For many families affected by childhood cancers, it meant getting the best cancer treatments available for their child while staying closer to home. And for kids with cancer everywhere, it meant that they had a friend who cared enough to give.

That friend is you.

So on behalf of the St. Baldrick’s community — our researchers, families, kids, and staff — thank you. You gave more than money. You gave hope.

For all you do for kids with cancer, thank you.
