    Military Working Dogs

    Military Working Dogs    

    Military working dogs have been a valuable part of the U.S. armed forces and have been officially recognized since WWII. In the past, these dogs could warn troops of approaching enemies, detect gas and locate wounded troops. Now military dogs can detect explosives and narcotics as well as engage the enemy. This page celebrates the commitment and service of the military working dog.
