In Loving memory of Military Working
Dog, "Richard",
who
served our country with undying devotion
The leather leash and chain
hanging from the kennel represents
the everlasting, eternal bond
between dog and handler.
The empty kennel where they once
slept represents the life that
they gave to protect us, our
brothers, and our freedom.
The inverted bucket reminds us
that they are no longer here for
us to fulfill their needs of food
and water, for which in life they asked
for no more in return than our
companionship and affection.
Rest in peace my friend
