Norfolk Police Officer Adam Pascoe gives his partner, Badge, a little love after the police dog was fitted for a ballistic vest. About 40 Hampton Roads' K-9 officers were measured for the life saving gear, which they'll receive for free thanks to donors including Anderson Cooper, after one was killed on assignment.

"Now I'll worry a little less," he said.

Bonnell Bentley waves from inside Bentley's Auto Service, a mechanic shop in Wooton, Ky., that he has owned and operated since the '60s. Once teeming with race cars, coal trucks and every kind of vehicle in between, the shop has shrunk along with the economy. It is a small refuge for three employees and a coal-based community that cannot afford new cars or expensive repairs elsewhere.
