This is the National Fire Dog Monument “Ashes to Answers”” tonight in our Nations Capital. The supporters of the Arson Dogs (YOU) created it, with the help of State Farm and the American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards. So sad that Arson K-9 Riley and I cannot click our fingers and be at the monument to wash away the "Hate", but Austin Weishel Bronze Sculpture assures me we can make it better! PLEASE SHARE to send "Hate" a message that the good people in this great nation will not be broken........Thank You Guys J & Riley
