Chicago Honors K-9 Force
Will you be anywhere near The Windy City this summer? The Chicago Tribune reports The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation is backing a public art initiative called K-9s for Cops to bring 200 German shepherd statues to the Magnificent Mile and other locations from July 23rd to Labor Day.
The 54-inch statues will be made of fiberglass, designed and painted by local artists in collaboration with sponsors. After Labor Day, the statues will be auctioned off to benefit both the memorial foundation and PAWS Chicago, where the money will be used for a spay / neuter initiative. A similar project featuring Horses of Honor several years ago netted $480,000.
Can’t wait to see it!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Thank You for Your Service
To all veterans, both 2-legged and 4-legged. Thank you for your service and welcome home!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Salute to Veterans
One of the big debates in today’s political news is whether or not Donald Trump insulted veterans when he said “I’ve always wanted the Purple Heart.” No matter which side of the argument you come down on, it seems appropriate that we remember the sacrifices made by our veterans – both human and canine.

Things that make you go hmmmm…..
I don’t know where this came from or where these soldiers are from, but doesn’t this look awfully uncomfortable for both the dogs and the men?
