National K-9 Veterans Day is an annual March 13 celebration of "canine courage," and the bravery of military and police dogs. "Serving on the front lines, in combat zones, and at our borders, these fearless four-legged fighters are an invaluable part of protecting America," Trump said in a Thursday message to commemorate the day.

As National K9 Veterans Day is celebrated, the dedication and bond between K9 handlers and their dogs are being highlighted.

News5 got the chance to meet those K-9 soldiers who work for the security forces at Peterson Space Force Base.
