When veterans return from their tours, they have to pay thousands of dollars to bring their service dogs home with them. Most can't afford it, and the dogs that could help them recover from the stress of war are left behind. We need a law that will guarantee that the dogs who stood with our veterans can return home with them at no cost.
Why is this important?
Dogs that are trained as service dogs are closer to their owners than even our beloved pets. It's cruel to separate veterans from their dogs who have been not just a source of comfort, but sometimes actual life savers. Allowing the vets to bring their dogs home with them is a tangible way of saying "Thank you for your service."
