I like to hike and I always depended on my dogs to lead me on the trail when sometimes it was hard to follow. Even at night I could see the contrast in color between the trees, grass and brush and my dogs big black tail. I could just shut off my light and follow him

Thanks for remembering Man’s Best Friend...in times of war as well as peace.

Being owned by many Irish Wolfhounds over the years, this monument at Gettysburg makes me cry every time I see it.

FWIW, I was 10 years old when I visited the MWD center at Tokorazawa, Japan (The same week the Thresher went down, April, 1963). I read the names of the MWD’s that were lost in the Korean War and have always remembered that Leo, a German Shepherd, was the first MWD lost in combat in Korea.

Nor would I. Aside from companionship, they provide such useful services.

The military being one of the biggest.
