There are an estimated 2,700 dogs actively serving in the U.S. military and another 700 deployed overseas. But for the most part, the courageous canines have not been given credit for their heroic acts on and off the battlefield. So philanthropist Lois Pope, in partnership with American Humane, dedicated the American Military Hero Dog Monument. The monument was designed by sculptor Austin Weishel, who said it honors ‘the everlasting and unbreakable bond between canines and the valiant warriors of our armed forces.’
