A resolution expressing support for recognizing September 20 as National Service Dog Day.

This resolution (SRES 853) is a symbolic Senate expression of support for designating September 20 as National Service Dog Day. It does not create new laws or policies but encourages public awareness about service dogs' role in assisting veterans and individuals with disabilities. The resolution asks the President to issue a proclamation urging Americans to learn about service dogs' history and benefits, and to support organizations that provide them free of charge. It directly affects no individuals or entities through binding requirements, serving only as a non-binding recognition gesture.
