On Sunday, the Defender Kansas Oz Chapter presented Trooper Budke with a ballistic vest that was made for his K-9 partner, Igor, Highway Patrol Trooper Tod said via his Facebook page.
The vest was donated by Friends of the K9 Vest, Midwest.
They chose Igor after hearing about him getting hurt in the line of duty last winter in a crash.
Thanks to everyone one involved, Trooper Budke felt very honored, Tooper Tod said.
