U. S. Veterans supporting Active Military Dog Handlers The Feed the Dawgs Project is a culmination of United States Military Veterans and patriotic citizens joining together to support and recognize the dedication and patriotism of today's Military Working Dog personnel around the globe. The United States Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy deploy Military Working Dog teams in many regions of the world in support of global peace and stability. We feed steak bar-b-ques to active military dog handler's in all branches of United States service as they return from or "ship out" for deployments to the front lines on the War on Terror. feedthedawgs.com/
