Kingston police have announced that a puppy named Juno will be the first of three dogs to be sponsored from the proceeds of their holiday market.
In November, Kingston police hosted Vern’s Holiday Market in honour of the station’s facility dog Vern.
The event included 55 vendors and was also sponsored by Edward Jones, Pampered Pups and the Kingston Police Association.
