On Monday, October 7th, I had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Steny H. Hoyer’s (MD-05) staff in Washington, D.C., to discuss our petition and push for greater support for service dogs and veterans. I’m pleased to share that Congressman Hoyer’s team agreed to take on the cause and bring this issue to the Veterans Administration.

I was joined by my service dog and members from the Machinists Union (IAM) Veterans Services Coordinators were also present to lend their support. Thanks to the collective efforts of everyone involved, we are now advancing to the next stage of this important mission.

I’ll keep you all updated as we continue moving forward. Thank you for your continued support!
