Ken-Caryl Ranch resident Rick Claggett was a Scout Dog Handler in the Vietnam War. Dogs have played major roles and saved many human lives in the military, dating all the way back to the Civil War. On Friday, Feb. 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ranch House, Rick will give a fascinating presentation about the history and changing roles of war dogs from the Civil War until present day. This free, informative presentation is open to the public and the entire family. Rick’s knowledge and personal experience will make this an evening to remember. Light refreshments will be provided. The event is sponsored by Deer Creek Animal Hospital and the Ken-Caryl Ranch Veterans Monument.
