As Veteran’s Day is approaching, I thought it would be appropriate to re-visit our most popular blog post of all times regarding the dogs who have served us in the military. Kudos to the brave canines who have ventured into dangerous situations, sometimes giving their lives for our freedom. We salute them. See blog post on military dogs
