Dogs from the Los Angeles Fire Department, Los Angeles Police Department, L.A. County Fire, California Highway Patrol, L.A. County Sheriff, and various other law enforcement agencies along with military units representing the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard took part.

The military’s K9 Corps was created on March 13, 1942, and National K9 Veterans Day has expanded to recognize the service and sacrifice of all first responder working dog teams.

This family-friendly event honored the heroic working dog teams from first responder agencies that perform security and life-saving missions every day throughout Los Angeles County. Missions supported by working dog teams include pursuing and apprehending dangerous suspects; detecting weapons, narcotics, explosives, and other illegal items; search and rescue; and protecting ports and military bases.

Attendees also learned what it takes to be a canine handler.

Special honor and recognition was paid to the search and rescue dog teams that deployed in support of the Palisades and Eaton fires.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
