Yeager was one of four working dogs who received American Humane’s K-9 Medal of Courage in a ceremony Tuesday at the Rayburn House Office Building. American Humane President Robin Ganzert said that 20 working dogs have been honored with the K-9 Medal of Courage over the past four years.
Dogs like these have gone on countless patrols, house-to-house sweeps, locating weapons, militants and explosives, and protected personnel. They are instrumental in the fight for freedom, saving countless lives tour after tour.
