…Military Working Dogs. "How big that number will be many years from now, when we are in a position to tally the lives saved by dogs in Iraq and Afghanistan, one cannot say. But Technical Sergeant Justin Kitts was awarded his Bronze Star in 2011 for his detection work with Dyngo during their Afghanistan deployment, and for having secured the lives of 30,000 US, host nation, and coalition forces.

A few months back, I read "A Soldier's Best Friend" by and about an Army dog handler and canine team during the Vietnam War. Shame that the dogs were all put down after finishing their tours. Pretty touching book. At least today, many are being "retired" and brought back home.
