The Hartsdale Pet Cemetery hosts its annual War Dog Memorial Celebration on Sunday (June 14) with ceremonies to remember the service and sacrifices of thousands of military canines.
The event, open to the public, begins at 1 p.m. when a wreath will be laid at the War Dog Memorial erected in 1923 as a tribute to the 7,000 four-legged veterans that served in World War I.
Also being remembered are all pets that have served humanity, including Seeing Eye dogs, therapy dogs and police and fire dogs.
Iraq veteran Tracy Wolak, a volunteer with the Yonkers Animal Shelter, will discuss the impact the current economy is having on animal shelters nationwide.
The cemetery, located at 75 North Central Park Ave. is a designated Westchester County landmark. For more information click here to see their website.
