A nine-year-old boy asked his friends and family not to buy him birthday presents this year — instead, he wanted money.
With that money, he will help arm police dogs with bullet-proof vests.
Ethan Flint’s generosity inspired so many people that he ended up raising more than a thousand dollars.
He handed a homemade check for $1,290 to a foundation in St. Paul, Minnesota, that is buying vests to protect the city’s police K9 units.

“This kid has a heart of gold,” St. Paul Police Spokesman Steve Linders told ABC News.
Bullet-proof vests for dogs are expensive, as much as $2,500 each for the type the St. Paul Police Department uses. Ethan’s money will be combined with a restaurant’s donation to buy two vests.
