This bill designates the week of May 21-27, 2026, as Military Animal Appreciation Week to honor the contributions of animals serving in the armed forces. The resolution specifically acknowledges various species, including dogs, dolphins, rats, mules, donkeys, and pigeons, for their roles in tasks ranging from bomb detection and underwater mine hunting to message delivery and pack support. By formally recognizing this period, the legislation aims to bring public attention to the service provided by these non-human members of the military.
