A first-of-its kind memorial in Washington, D.C., will honor the service and sacrifice of #serviceanimals and their handlers through U.S. history to present, as well as honoring the human-animal bond. The National Service Animals Memorial (NSAM), authorized by Congress that will be built in the nation’s Capital, has advanced to the Site Selection and is actively identifying the best possible location in D.C. This is the first memorial that honors the service and sacrifice of the many species of animals and their handlers who have valiantly served our country in the military, law enforcement, search and rescue, and as guide, assistance, and therapy animals, and honors the powerful human-animal bond. Canine Companions CEO Paige Mazzoni shares, “As Canine Companions celebrates our 50th year as creator of the modern service dog concept, we’re honored to collaborate and be a part of this journey.” 🐕‍🦺 Link in bio to learn more. . . . . #servicedog #community #memorial #washingtondc
