National K-9 Veterans Day occurs on March 13th each year, honoring the service and sacrifices of military dogs. It began in 1942 during World War II as the War Dog Program, also known as the K-9 Corps, and since then, more than 35,000 dogs have served. According to the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, an estimated up to 2,500 military working dogs are currently serving, with hundreds deployed at any given time.
