An Akron police K9 officer is wearing something that's not just fashionable.
Akron Police K9 officer "Mylo" is now sporting a vest....not just any vest, but a canine ballistic vest.
The protective vest costs $800, and the department says that money came in a donation from the Rubber City Kennel Club.
Mylo is pictured here with his human partner, Officer Patrick Armsted.
They work together on the day shift on patrol.
