Expressing support for recognizing September 20 as National Service Dog Day.
HRES 513 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for designating September 20 as National Service Dog Day. It recognizes service dogs' critical role in assisting people with disabilities - including mobility, visual, hearing, and medical needs - and highlights their historical contributions since 1929. The resolution encourages public awareness of service dogs' benefits, requests the President issue a proclamation to honor them, and urges support for organizations training service dogs for veterans and individuals with disabilities. This resolution does not create new laws or alter existing policies, but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of service dogs' societal value.
