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.

This resolution does not create new laws or alter existing policies, but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of service dogs' societal value.
