War dogs make their way to Pueblo

The Home of Heroes hosted a few special veterans Sunday.

The war dogs were at the annual Pet Expo at the Pueblo Convention Center.

Ruby Ridpath is trying to get all war dogs recognized with a memorial at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs.

She said the dogs have been instrumental in saving the lives of troops ever since World War II. She said the dogs have been trained to detect explosives and patrol areas.

“So many dogs have saved thousands and thousands of American soldiers’ lives,” she said.

The expo was hosted by our partners at the Pueblo Chieftain.
