A RESOLUTION
Commending the benefits and contributions of purebred dogs and recognizing May 1, 2025, as Purebred Dog Day at the state capitol; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, dedicated individuals in Georgia breed dogs to develop unique, predictable characteristics that enable dogs to excel in a wide range of beneficial areas; and
WHEREAS, purebred dogs are living legacies of the cultures that created them, and historically these dogs worked alongside their people and provided them companionship; and
WHEREAS, the service of these breeds continues today as they work alongside humans and provide inestimable companionship as guide dogs, service dogs, conservation dogs, livestock guardians, search and rescue dogs, earth dogs, police dogs, canine soldiers serving by the sides of our military men and women, and guardians of family, home, and hearth; and
WHEREAS, purebred dogs have been of enormous help to medical science, serving as models for many heritable human diseases, playing a role in humanity's understanding of the human and canine genomes, and benefitting pharmaceutical research and development; and
WHEREAS, purebred dogs are working dogs, serving as avalanche dogs, trackers and trailers, herders, controllers of vermin, water rescuers, carting and sled dogs, retrievers, protectors, hunters, and bird dogs, and they are always the heartbeat of a companion near and dear to humans; and
WHEREAS, all dogs should be valued regardless of their ancestry, but the purpose-bred dog and the predictability of its breed should be cherished and preserved; and
WHEREAS, each breed is incredibly etched in the history of the culture that created it, just as surely as that culture's music, art, and language, making it abundantly fitting that we recognize purebred dogs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend the benefits and contributions of purebred dogs and recognize May 1, 2025, as Purebred Dog Day at the state capitol.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
