Zoos' handler says its a relief to know his partner has added protection.
The campaign raised more than $335,000 and has provided body armor for 350 police K9s nationwide.
All of the vests are embroidered with the sentiment "In Memory Of K-9 Rocco, Pittsburgh Bureau Of Police."
Rocco was stabbed to death while protecting his handler and another officer in January.
