MWD Dio was more than just a working dog; this was an elite warrior and a constant guardian. Whether on patrol or standing watch, Dio’s unwavering loyalty and keen instincts protected those who served alongside. Dio's service number, R782, is now etched into our history and our hearts.

The Final Salute

Dio has now moved to "Eternal Patrol," joining the ranks of thousands of heroes who have gone before. At the Michigan War Dog Memorial, we ensure that the sacrifices of K9s like Dio are never forgotten. Dio has earned a place of honor on our hallowed grounds in South Lyon, where this hero can finally rest, the watch complete.
