Soldier & Dog Statue

The United States K9 Corps was created on March 13, 1942, when dogs officially became part of military service. Border Patrol K9s, Customs K9s, Police K9s, Secret Service K9s, Airport Service K9s and FBI K9s work daily to save and protect the American people and homeland. As part of the military effort, military dogs have served on the borders on land and sea every day. The dogs are trained to provide numerous functions, including search, rescue, explosives detection, scout, patrol and enemy subdue. The occasion was created by Joe White, a Vietnam War veteran K9 handler and trainer to pay tribute to the remarkable and essential service that dogs carry out in the US military across the World. Military use of dogs goes back at least 2500 years, being key components in various military conflicts in human history.
