One girl's bulletproof doggie mission

GRAND ISLAND, Nebraska (AP) -- Annie Tacha, 10, is organizing bake sales, car washes and loose-change collections to help buy a new police dog for the Hall County Sheriff's Department.

She's also trying to raise enough to buy a doggie-sized bulletproof vest.

About $5,000 will be needed to buy the dog and $1,000 for the vest.

"It's my goal to raise as much money as I can by the end of the summer because it will be harder when I'm in school," Annie said.

Annie initially intended to raise money only for the vest, after seeing a New Jersey girl do so on a recent TV show. But she soon learned Hall County's lone police dog -- an 8-year-old German shepherd named Blix -- was diagnosed with cancer. That prompted her to step up her efforts.

"This was a godsend," Chief Deputy Sheriff Chris Rea said. "I told Annie she's not just doing a huge service for the Hall County Sheriff's Department, but for the community and surrounding communities."
