'Beny' the K-9 Gets a New Ride Local Businesses Donate Parts and Services to Repair Damaged Cruiser By Ken Askew Officer 'Beny', the Monongahela Police Department’s K-9 drug-sniffing dog, continues to attract community support. The department had a wrecked, low-mileage cruiser that was totaled in an accident, so it was decided to repair the car and equip it as Beny’s new ride. That’s when Richard E. Schlieper, owner of Pitt Mon Auto Salvage agreed to donate the needed parts, and Edward J. and Bill Volker volunteered their time and labor to perform the repairs. Also, Chris Sphar, an employee of the Monongahela City street department, added safety equipment and provides required maintenance. With all their joint contributions, the vehicle is now on the road again, at no cost to taxpayers. Beny and his handler, Officer Larry Maraldo II, are grateful for the generosity of Pitt Mon Auto Salvage, Volker Body Shop, Chris Sphar, and the rest of the community in their ongoing support of the K-9 program. Monongahela Officers Larry Maraldo and Beny the K-9 are appreciative of their new ride.
