Gulf War veteran cycles across America with his dog

Harold Palmquist is a Gulf War veteran. When he lost his job as a truck driver, he lost his home and was out on the street with his beloved 9 year old dog Daisy. Homeless shelters would take in Harold, but not Daisy, and he wasn’t about to abandon Daisy.

Finally he chanced across a shelter that would accept pets, the Phoenix shelter “Veterans and Their Pets,” which also offers food and veterinary care for pets.

Now Palmquist is raising money for the shelter, and awareness for the plight of many veterans, by riding his bicycle across America.

If you’d like to help Harold and Daisy in their goal, you can donate via their Go Fund Me page.
