Vest-a-Dog Keeps Massachusetts Police Dogs Safe, and an SOS for Swansea's Luther Store

Police dogs, and their handlers, often find themselves in unpredictable, and even dangerous, situations. They don't always have the gear they need to keep themselves safe, but Massachusetts Vest-a-Dog has been working for decades to change that. President David Shilale joins Nichole to talk about their efforts to outfit every K-9 officer in Massachusetts with safety vests tailored specifically to their needs. For centuries, Swansea residents have patronized and loved the J.G. Luther Store on Old Warren Road. Time takes its toll on buildings like this, but the Swansea Historical Society has been able to keep up - until COVID hit. Now, they're scrambling to try and fix massive structural and pest problems in hopes of saving this beloved historical landmark. Cheryl Bogle from the Swansea Historical Society has details on what happened, and how you can help them get the store back to good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
