In June 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King was arrested for protesting peacefully at a motel restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida. While being transported to jail in Jacksonville, he was placed in a police car with a German Shepherd police dog, which was meant to intimidate him. Instead, the two became friends. This incident inspired his wife Coretta Scott King to become an animal rights activist. Today, Dr. Martin Luther King's dream lives on, and we are happy to honor his memory.
