| On the final day of the Invictus
Games Orlando 2016 on Thursday, Mickey Mouse and his favorite dog,
Pluto, spent some playful time with several competitors and their
trusty service dogs at Shades of Green hotel at Walt Disney World
Resort. Invictus Games competitors from the United States, the
United Kingdom and Canada and their service dogs, who are
instrumental in assisting the competitors in all facets of their
everyday lives, interacted with Mickey and Pluto before heading off
to their final day of competition at ESPN Wide World of Sports
Complex at Walt Disney World Resort. The competitors also shared
their stories of how their service dogs have impacted their lives. The Invictus Games concludes tonight at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort with the Closing Ceremony featuring Prince Harry, Dr. Jill Biden and several musical performances by national recording acts such as Rascal Flatts and Grammy-nominated hip-hop superstar Flo Rida.
