"A friend suggested we give them patriotic names considering their timing into this world on such a tragic day," wrote the owner of Cascade German Shepherds to KIRO 7. "I completely agreed and we came up with five names—and instead of the 'S Litter,' they became the 'Freedom Litter.'"

The puppies are named: Freedom, Lady Liberty, Glory, Justice and Patriot.
