Remembrance Day 2025: Giant dogs pay tribute to fallen service animals on Armistice Day in heartwarming video
Giant water rescue dogs honour service animals who lost their lives in World War I and II with incredible poppy outfits on Remembrance Day tribute.
Heartwarming video shows a group of adorable giant dogs in poppy-covered carts, and wearing poppy outfits as they turned out for the Blackpool Remembrance Day service.
The Blackpool Working Newfoundlands posed for selfies with admiring members of the public, and service men and women, after the service on Sunday morning (09th Nov 2025).
The paramedic-led group, who offer water rescue training for dogs and educate the public in water safety, also layed a hand-made wreath on behalf of their members.
One of the dogs in the photo wears a coat in memory of Sgt Gander - a GIANT Newfoundland Dog that served, fought, and was tragically killed in action saving the lives of his Regiment in WW2.
A spokesperson wrote on the official Facebook page: “We’re keen to ensure Sgt Ganders bravery and love for his friends is never forgotten, and proud to have been entrusted with the legacy of delivering his story throughout the UK.”
