    Walter Reed National Military Medical Center's facility dogs and Red Cross volunteer and patient service dogs assembled alongside their handlers and owners in front of the historic Tower at WRNMMC for the annual Blessings of the Dogs Ceremony on Oct. 8, 2024. The ceremony began with remarks by Franciscan Friar Brother David W. Schlatter from the department of Pastoral Care. The blessing of the animals is often associated with St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, and is typically held on his feast day, Oct. 4. (DOD Photo by Christian Lilakos)
