Thanks from the Dogs

If military dogs in Iraq could say, “Thank you,” they would. Do they need to say, “Thank you?” Many might suggest it is the two-footed Americans who should be saying, “Thank you.”

Each day the dogs do their duty faithfully under harsh and often extremely adverse circumstances. They can’t be here to thank you, but folks at Dogtopia of Clarksville can. Julianne Mills was pleased to report that over 50 dogs were bathed in the recent K-9 Support Dog Wash.

More than $1,000 was raised to provide extra treats for the dogs and their handlers. Imagine your bare feet in the searing heat of Iraq. Cooling vests, protective booties and other treats for the dogs and handlers will soon be on their way overseas. Your support is greatly appreciated.

I enjoyed this article. I'm sorry I missed it as I know it was a fanstatic event. I also liked the pictures..they were so adorable of the animals and Mr. Shasha Serpa, Maryland National Guard veteran.
