Fifty California law enforcement agencies were represented.

Air Force canine handlers waited their moment to honor
those who came before them.

The War Dogs' Monument, embraced with flowers...

Vietnam dog handler veterans streamed forward to place a token rose in memory of their canine friends.
t is only rain... but the first drop--the very first--landed as a tear in the canine's eye... and that is somehow fitting.
