France has inaugurated a memorial to pay tribute to all “civilian and military hero dogs.” The monument acknowledges the role dogs played in the U.S. and European armies during World War I.
The monument is located in front of the town hall in Suippes, part of an area of northeast France that saw major battles during World War I. The placement acknowledges the important role dogs played in the U.S. and European armies of the time.
Suippes is also home to the largest military kennel in Europe, where members of the French army's 132nd canine infantry regiment train dogs for military duty. The regiment currently consists of 650 army personnel and 550 dogs.
