I read too much, but thought why not? Here's a piece to think about;
"At the height of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. military had a force of roughly 2,500 military working dogs. Some have entered the American lexicon as as heroes in their own right: Cairo, a Belgian Malinois hailed for his work with the Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden. And Rex, a shepherd; his handler, Mike Dowling, wrote a book about their harrowing exploits in Iraq, saying, “It was Rex who gave me the strength to get up and to carry on.” On Memorial Day, the United States will honor all those who died while serving in the country's armed forces. Take a look at the dogs and their handlers who lead the way onto the most dangerous battlefields on Earth."
A lot of People don't realize how important dogs have been, and the parts they have played in assisting both military, and civlian personnel. Most often dogs are just thought of being "seeing eye dogs" for the blind, but they go so much further and beyond that type of service. They have saved many lives.
