Capitol Hill lawmakers are trying to help military service dogs finished with active duty by giving them full health benefits and streamlining their adoption process.
The Canine Members of the Armed Forces Act has been introduced in the House by Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-N.C.) and in the Senate by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and now awaits hearings.
Right now, viagra buy the Department of Defense classifies military work dogs as equipment, which means service units or prospective adoption families must pay to have the animals brought home from abroad, which from Europe can cost more than $1,000.-[source]
I am a service dog user myself, and my life has been changed for the better thanks to my dog. I can not begin to express what my dog means to me and the work that they do willingly is very much appreciated, so much so that it can not really be put into words.
You’re correct. Seems to me that these dogs would be top priority to police departments back here in the USA. These dogs are already trained for security or explosives location. They’re be great for use in airports. If anything I’m sure there’s citizens here that would adopt them. I would.
