(Jennings County, Ind.) - Many people spend their Christmas money the day after on all the great deals that stores have to offer.

Well, everybody but five-year-old Joey Denny from Jennings County, he saved his Christmas money to purchase tennis balls for Vampir and Axel, Jennings County K-9 Officers.

“Joey is a huge fan of the police dogs, and we think that they are growing pretty fond of him as well,” said the Sheriff’s Office.

This is the second year in a row in which Joey has saved his Christmas money to be able to donate tennis balls to Vampir and Axel.

This year Joey even had the opportunity to meet and play catch with Vampir when he went to donate the tennis balls.
