S. 5113, the "Homeward Bound Act," is a bill that lets soldiers, diplomats, and people with helper animals bring their pets into the U.S. with a delay on new rules, giving them extra time before they need to follow them. It also makes it easier to bring in dogs from places with low rabies risk and makes sure that existing animal safety rules still apply.

Imagine there's a new rule about bringing dogs into the U.S. from other countries. This bill is like hitting the "pause button" on that rule for people who work in the military or with service animals, so they have more time to follow it.
