Jeremiah Cooper, a 16 year old student who attends Attleboro High School, has produced a calendar honoring Rehoboth’s K-9 first responders.
Also featured are K-9s from the Abington Police Department, Barrington Police Department, Dartmouth Police Department, Fall River Fire Department, and North Attleboro Police Department.
“He’s doing such great work that I felt I had to share his story and his work with the whole town,” Officer David Aguiar told the Board of Selectmen Monday.
Cooper took all of the photos for the calendar. He told the board he does police and fire photography. Work on the calendar began last June.
Cooper said he took a trip to the town of Berlin, where the K-9 officer there told him about wanting to keep his own comfort dog.
“All he wanted to do was keep the dog, he didn’t want to lose the dog,” Cooper explained.
The officer didn’t have the money to pay for the dog so he launched a T-shirt drive.
Cooper bought a T-shirt and decided to produce the calendar to help other K-9 officers.
The proceeds from the sale of the calendars will be distributed to all the K-9s which were part of the project.
“It’s awesome to see a young guy like you who has talent putting it to use like that,” said Selectman Dave Pereira. “Thank you very much. It’s a pleasure meeting you.”
The 2025 Cash For K-9s calendar’s cover features Edo, Aguiar’s K-9 partner.
“We’ve very humbled and very blessed that people support us and believe us,” Aguiar added.
The calendars are on sale for $20 each. They can be purchased from the Rehoboth Police Department or by visiting the website 848photography.com.
