I served proudly as a police dog, dedicating my life to keeping my community safe and bringing criminals to justice. Day in and day out, I worked tirelessly alongside my human partners, sniffing out clues, tracking suspects, and protecting those in need.

Through all the hard work and challenges, I earned awards that I wore with pride. Yet, despite everything I’ve done, it sometimes feels like no one really notices or celebrates my achievements.

I’m not the only one—there are countless other pups out there who work just as hard, serving in various roles, from search and rescue to therapy dogs and more.

But we often don’t receive the recognition we deserve. It’s heartbreaking to think that so much effort goes unnoticed, even when we give our all. Every dog, every worker, no matter their breed or job, deserves to be celebrated. We thrive on love, appreciation, and recognition, and a simple “thank you” can make all the difference.

So, I urge everyone to remember that the contributions of service dogs, whether big or small, are invaluable. A little celebration, a kind word, or even a gentle pat can make us feel seen and appreciated. Let’s make sure that every pup who works so hard gets the recognition they truly deserve. 🐾💖
