The poignant Animals at War design holds special significance as it was crafted by Jenny Cope, the founder of the rescue, and a former British Army veteran. Jenny's background adds a layer of depth to the emblem, infusing it with personal understanding and a profound connection to the theme of remembrance. As a veteran, she brings a unique perspective to the tribute, underscoring the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by both human and animal participants in times of conflict. This design not only serves as a visual commemoration by  intricately weaving together symbols that poignantly commemorate the profound contributions and sacrifices made by animals during times of conflict, particularly in the context of the world wars. But also as a heartfelt expression of gratitude and remembrance from someone with firsthand experience of the significance of sacrifice in the military context.
