FYI, In Arizona, the Grand Canyon GSDC has marched in the Phoenix Veteran's Day Parade for the past 13 years. This year we had over 50 dogs marching, including dogs and handlers from the local Air Force base. We were joined this year by actual veteran dog handlers, one came all the way from California just to march with us. We march to honor the work, bravery and sacrifice made by Military War dogs.

We'll also once again praise the War Dog's on March 13th. Has anyone read The DOG WHO COULD FLY? The book was just given to me by a friend. I can hardly wait to read this incredible true story of a WW11 airman and his GSD hero who flew at his side, by Damien Lewis.

I will protect you with my last breath, and will gladly take a bullet in your place. When all others have left you, and the loneliness of the night closes in, I will be at your side." Search and Rescue Dogs "We are searching for a lost child, an Alzheimer's patient or victim of disaster. We re-unite families with the missing. Together we also help bring closure to grieving families. I will be right here at your side, so that others may live." Military Dogs "I am the first sent in to danger, to keep you from harm. I am your eyes, nose and ears. I will protect and serve you. I will lay down my life for you and your fellow soldiers and expect nothing, but a kind word in return."
