Their dedication and loyalty has saved countless of lives throughout history, selflessly risking their own to protect the lives of their humans.
In honor of their hard work and bravery, we pay tribute to just a few of the many Military Working Dogs and Contract Working Dogs who willingly put their lives on the line each day.
