Here is a testament to how loved and missed they are!
I saw this on The Animal Rescue Site. Not only do our human families miss them, but our pets do, too.
Captain Andrew Schmidt was generous enough to make a donation back to the Alexandria, VA Animal Shelter due to huge success of this viral video. Thank you for your service and your generosity!
