In Memory of Our K9 Heroes: Honoring Lives of Service and Dedication

This page honors the K9s, service dogs, and facility dogs who have passed on, whether in the line of duty or after a life of service. From military and police K9s to therapy and facility dogs, we celebrate their bravery, loyalty, and the impact they made.
