***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
Relating to: proclaiming September 2023 to be National Service Dog Month in

Whereas, we believe in the joyful, transformative power of the human-canine
bond and inclusivity of all citizens; and
Whereas, in the United States, 64 million adults and children have a disability,
only 16,000 service dogs from accredited training programs exist nationwide, and the
need is growing; and
Whereas, Canine Companions is a nonprofit organization that enhances the
lives of people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs and
ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships; and
Whereas, Canine Companions and their service dogs empower people with
disabilities to lead life with greater independence by providing best-in-class
training, ongoing follow up services, and a deeply committed community of support;

Whereas, National Service Dog Month aims to educate our community about
the benefits of service dogs and the laws protecting them; and
Whereas, Wisconsin continues to work toward becoming an inclusive
community in which all citizens, and their service dogs, are embraced; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, That, in recognition of service dogs and the adults
and children with disabilities in our community, the Wisconsin Assembly does
hereby proclaim September to be National Service Dog Month; and, be it further
Resolved, That the Wisconsin Assembly encourages all citizens to celebrate
task trained service dogs and to be respectful of the rights afforded to the adults,
children, and veterans who lead more independent lives because of their assistance.
