The planned War Dogs Memorial in Colorado Springs, Colo. would be located under the shadow of the Veterans Memorial at Memorial Park. A plot at Memorial Park has been approved, and the estimated cost for the memorial is $200,000. War Dog Colorado has raised $55,000 towards that goal. The memorial would honor military and contract working dogs, which serve for patrol purposes, explosive detection and drug detection. War dogs are estimated to have saved tens of thousands of lives since World War II. For more information visit the War Dogs Memorial website.
