SUFFOLK, Va. - There will soon be four more paws on patrol in Suffolk. The Suffolk Police Department's K-9 Unit just accepted a $5,000 donation from Del Monte Pet Products and Farm Fresh through the Milk-Bone "Canine Heroes" program for a new police dog.

Milk-bone started its "Canine Heroes" program in 1997. Since then, they've donated more than 850 police and service dogs nationwide.
