Brady talked to his mother and they came up with a plan. Two years later, they set up the K9 Fund to raise money to buy bulletproof vests for the dogs. So far, the boy has raised $314.000. That means over 260 dogs can get their lifesaving vests!
Brady’s good deeds (行为；事迹) don’t stop with the vests. He also helped rebuild a park where police dogs can train and play with their handlers (驯犬员). The park is open to the public every day except Tuesdays, when it’s open only to the K-9s and their handlers.
The dogs absolutely love their new vests and park. At the age of ten, Brady has found a way to improve these hardworking dogs’ lives, both on the job and of. What a talented boy!

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Some kids seem to be born knowing exactly what they can do to help those around them.
When Brady Snakovsky was only eight years old, he was watching a TV show about police officers. He heard something that really impressed him. There are thousands of police K-9s actively working in the United States. However, most of them are risking their lives without wearing bulletproof vests (防弹背心).
Brady talked to his mother and they came up with a plan. Two years later, they set up the K9 Fund to raise money to buy bulletproof vests for the dogs. So far, the boy has raised $314.000. That means over 260 dogs can get their lifesaving vests!
Brady’s good deeds (行为；事迹) don’t stop with the vests. He also helped rebuild a park where police dogs can train and play with their handlers (驯犬员). The park is open to the public every day except Tuesdays, when it’s open only to the K-9s and their handlers.
The dogs absolutely love their new vests and park. At the age of ten, Brady has found a way to improve these hardworking dogs’ lives, both on the job and of. What a talented boy!
*K-9/K9发音与canine (犬) 相同， police K-9s 即police dogs.
