Military dogs are unsung heroes who often don’t get the accolades they deserve for serving their country. The United States Postal Service is about to change all that, however, as new stamps set to come out later this year honor military dogs in a beautiful way.

The four designs for the stamps include a German shepherd, Labrador retriever, Belgian Malinois and Dutch shepherd.

“The Postal Service honors the nation’s brave and loyal military working dogs with this new booklet of 20 stamps,” the USPS said in a statement, “Each block of four stamps features one stamp of each of the following breeds — German shepherd, Labrador retriever, Belgian Malinois and Dutch shepherd — that commonly serve in America’s armed forces.”

The background of each stamp features a detail of a white star. A star appears in the center of each block,” the Postal Service continued. “The stylized digital illustrations are in red, white, blue and gold to represent the American flag and patriotism. The art was created by DKNG Studios. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamps.”

The USPS also announced four other stamps that are set to come out in the coming months. These stamps are a star made of red, white and blue ribbon, an oil-on-linen painting of tennis champion Maureen Connolly Brinker, designs from artist Ellsworth Kelly, and engines from the Transcontinental Railroad.

We’re so glad to see that the USPS is making such a big move to honor military dogs. These animals are performing a great service for the country, and they deserve all the praise in the world for it!
