The Dog Days of Summer

The following press release was published by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on Aug. 29, 2016. It is reproduced in full below.

House Energy and Commerce Committee members recognized “National Dog Day" last Friday by sharing pictures with their loyal canine friends. Whether a family pet or service animal, there’s no question that dogs really are “Members’ best friend." Here are some of our favorite Congressional companions from around the committee.

Rep. Michael C. Burgess’ (R-TX) dog, Sammie, avoids the Texas heat back home.

Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) has a pooch named Scout. She’s regularly sports the red, white, and blue.

Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) and his beloved Golden Retriever, Riley.

Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN) with Axel, who serves with the Evansville Police K-9 Unit.

Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) at the wheel with Maddie.

Rep. Susan Brooks’ (R-IN) Scout takes the plunge.
