Military dogs are treated well and have their own personnel file for record of service. Marines have even been known to award them ranks (highest I think was SGT but I know a Marine FR will correct me if my memory is faulty). These dogs do a valuable service and are appreciated.

Just great. When she's to old to finally join, as she claims she had wanted to do, the military creates a job specialty so well suited to Hillary.

I had military working dogs (I'll refrain from using the acronym MWDs) at my basecamp in Bosnia. It was awfully reassuring to have them there. I loved going on patrol with a dog team.

I AM A WORKING DOG
My eyes are your eyes,
to watch you and
to protect you and yours,
My ears are your ears,
to hear and detect evil mind in the dark,
My nose is your nose,
to scent the invader of your domain,
And so you may live,
My life is also yours.
Cicero

We once had a dog who had no nose. . .
How does he smell?
Terrible.

I handled dogs for uncle sam for 13.5 years. I handled and trained Patrol dogs, Ordance (bomb) dogs, Tracking dogs, Narcotics dogs, and Sentry dogs. I still work with stock dogs and protection dogs. It just becomes a way of life. They are part of the family.
