The WHPD K-9 unit extended a special thank you to Darryl Zebrowski for assisting and raising money for the unit, which helped to purchase a ballistic vest for Ado. K-9 Ado and officer Thomas Marchitto have been a team since Sept. 10 when they entered the academy. Ado needed to wait until he met the age requirement until he could be fitted for his vest. The response was overwhelming. Zebrowski is a resident of West Haven and employee of a West Haven business as well as a retired Marine.
