Six years ago, Marion Jordan, 93, decided to start supporting the Aurora Police K9 Unit with monthly donations. She has been donating every month, enough for the K9 Unit to buy a new dog, Jordan.
Jordan, as you might have guessed, is named in honor of Marion.
Marion, whose home has statues and stuffed German Shepherds everywhere, missed having a real dog. She has owned four in her life.
“I have sure missed my dogs,” she said. “They’re my best friends, my very best friends. There is nothing like a German Shepherd. They are the smartest dog.”
The 93-year-old loves the idea of having a dog named after her, but she is really looking forward to having a chance to someday pet Jordan again. She recently met the dog when Aaron Woodbury, the officer who is training Jordan, and other officers brought him by to meet her.
Aurora Police say the money Marion has been donating over the years, went into the general fund which paid for Jordan. He is one of several dogs Aurora Police work with.
