Cameron, a sixth-grader at , sold Malley’s chocolates and operated a booth at the Love-A-Stray 5K race last month raising more than $300 to buy safety supplies for Ady, who joined the police department earlier this year.

Cameron kept good on his word and presented Jared and Ady with more than $600 worth of items including a trauma kit, overdose kit, cooling pad, safety vest for in the woods (training), a $100 gift certificate to his local vet, a $50 Petco gift card, a $50 Pet People gift card and two photos taken by a professional.
