It is Military Appreciation Month, and one longtime national nonprofit is raising continued awareness regarding the importance of Military Working Dogs (MWD) in military service members’ lives.
Soldiers’ Angels, based out of San Antonio, Texas, works directly with deployed MWD handlers. With it also being National Pet Week, they are encouraging the public to help donate canines’ most-needed items due to handlers experiencing a lack of specialized supplies overseas.
