Six-year-old sells her toys to buy bulletproof vests for police dogs

There was round of applause at Tuesday night's Newport News city council meeting for a young girl taking action and getting results.

Kayleigh Crimmins has been raising money to buy bullet resistant vests for police dogs.

This one will go to a Newport News sheriff's department K-9 called Vader.



This is the fifth one she has bought with money from selling her toys on Craigslist.

"I think she is amazing I think she is determined I think she loves dogs, and there's no end to this she's made that very clear," says Kayleigh's mother Lee.

Kayleigh has also been holding yard sales and recently started a new project, 'Kids for K-9's' to help with her fundraising efforts.
