“Wounded Warrior K-9 Corps Act” To Be Introduced in Congress

Posted on | July 12, 2009 | No Comments

I don’t know enough about the contents of this proposed legislation yet to make any kind of informed comment, but I do want everyone to be aware that it has been announced:

“New legislation will provide service dogs to wounded veterans”

You can watch the following video to see Rep Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton, announcing the bill outside the Broward County VA Outpatient Clinic in Sunrise, FL:

“Bill would fetch more helpful Fidos for veterans”

More to follow, I’m sure.
