On Veteran's Day, we honor not only our human soldiers, but also the brave canine veterans who have served alongside them. Military working dogs have a proud history of saving lives on the battlefield as scouts, sentries, and more.
These courageous canines have defended our freedom with unwavering loyalty. Sadly, many have made the ultimate sacrifice. Today, we remember and pay tribute to all military working dogs - past, present, and fallen. Their stories of bravery will always inspire us.
