Boomer has also received his certification as a tracking dog and can be used to find missing persons.

Brady’s K9 Fund was founded by Brady Snakovsky, a ten-year-old fifth grader and is operated by his mom, Leah Tornabene, the wife of a police officer. To date, the organization has donated 306 vests.
