Whereas over 65,000,000 households in the United States are enriched by having a 
        dog in the home;

        States, including veterans;
Whereas over 3,000 dogs protect and serve our Nation working with Federal law 
        enforcement;
Whereas dogs, especially in costumes, have a unique ability to bring people of 
        the United States with different backgrounds and beliefs together; and
Whereas the Senate welcomes canine companions on a regular, ``bipawtisan'' 
        basis: Now, therefore, be it
