FRIEND TO DOGS That’s the message that will grace the Tree of Life memorial at PETA’s Norfolk, Virginia, headquarters in honor of Brian Sicknick, the U.S. Capitol police officer and South River, New Jersey, native who died from injuries sustained during the January 6 riot in Washington, D.C. Friends and family members have noted Sicknick’s dedication to his elderly dachshunds, one of whom he was often seen carrying during their many walks together because of the dog’s blindness. He was also known for sending officers letters stressing the need to protect animals. “PETA hopes the kindness and care that Officer Sicknick showed to his beloved dogs will inspire others to adopt companion animals and cherish them as members of the family,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk.
