To all the veterans – Thank you for your service and sacrifices so we can have the opportunities we have today! Wallace the Pit Bull went from shelter dog to Champion Frisbee Dog. Wallace crossed over on 8/23/13 from two terminal cancers. Long Live Wallace the Pit Bull!
Chopper the Biker Dog and Mark Shaffer, his human, make a special stop to San Diego’s “Mt Soledad Veterans Memorial” to remember and honor those who have served and lost their lives, this Veteran’s day, Chopper takes a moment to remember one of San Diego’s OWN, fallen USMC Major and San Diego Police Officer Jeremy Henwood. Serving three overseas deployments, Jeremy was killed in the line of duty August 7, 2011 while working as a San Diego Police Officer.
