New litter of puppies named after fallen officers

SALISBURY, Md. (ABC7) — A new litter of puppies is honoring fallen officers and helping their names live on.

Tracey McMenamy is more than a dog lover. She is a foster parent for a rescue organization, and the wife of a police officer.

Her husband has been serving for 12 years.

McMenamy says the dogs give her comfort. Her husband's profession is a source of pride, but also fear, especially this year as 16 cops have been killed in the line of duty nationwide.

"As a wife, it's scary for me that we've lost that many police officers," she says.
