"It's critical for us to showcase different elements that these officers are responsible for," said Taylor Kahn of the NYC Police Foundation.

Each of the NYPD's K-9s is named in honor of a fallen officer.

One of them, Lindsay, part of the ESU Canine Team, is named after Detective Chris Lindsay, who died from 9/11 related cancer.

"She's my partner, my confidant, my best friend, my protector," said Detective Christina Orlando. "We have a bond like no other."



The calendar is $35, and proceeds will benefit ongoing Police Foundation programs and initiatives.
