The 8-year-old German Shepherd Kaya, who became an ambassador for veteran service dogs, died last week. She stood alongside her owner to lobby for the PAWS Act signed into law by Biden in 2021.

"Throughout her career, Kaya flew with us over 250 times to help establish the PAWS Act, which united veterans with service dogs," the airline captioned the video."We are so grateful to be a part of her legacy, and we thank her and her owner, Cole, for their many years of service."

Lyle also documented the journey — from Kaya's diagnosis, to the plane ride and eventual return to Dallas — on social media. "I certainly had no idea the extent to which it would resonate with people, and that people would want to be supportive," he said."I really want to acknowledge the people that took really good care of her, and made her feel comfortable and wanted to honor her in her last few days for all of her work, and everything she's done for me, and for veterans across the country."Miss you already, babygirl. My heart is broken and I’m numb without you.
