Gunner Named Puppy with a Purpose | Baltimore News

Gunner, the newest service dog for a veteran with PTSD, has officially been named by WBAL-TV 11 viewers after a week of voting — and the ceremony took place at historic Fort McHenry, where the name pays tribute to 1814 artillery. Part of America’s VetDogs program, Gunner is one of many free-trained service animals helping veterans and first responders with disabilities, with each pup costing around $50,000 to train. This initiative is part of the larger “America 250” celebration, spotlighting pivotal moments in U.S. history. Gunner joins two other successful dogs already serving Baltimore-area veterans, continuing a legacy of hope and healing.
