I watched the Military Channel "Glory Hound". And I dare any one not come away with tears running down their face.

Well now they’ve done it!
They’ve captured a dog.
Can we nuke them now?

Always remember, in the movies the good guys are always the ones kindest to dogs. If there are no dogs available, a cat will do.

FWIW the first MWD killed in the Korean War was a German Shepherd named Leo. I saw his grave on a Marine base in Japan in 1962 and have never forgotten it.

We shouldn’t be sending dogs or men over there. Its an I sane waste under this jackass or the fool who preceded him.

“A spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force said: “We can confirm that a military working dog went mission following an ISAF missing in December, 2013. It is ISAF policy to defer identification to the appropriate national authorities.”

Pretty well confirms that this is true. He's prob a drug sniffer or IED hound but I can pretty much guarantee it's not an attack dog... Why ??? Cause they all have their hands

“I watched the Military Channel “Glory Hound”. And I dare any one not come away with tears running down their face.”

________________________________________________________

Shows like that are so touching; I was in tears after watching an episode of Pet Heroes that told the story of a Gander, a St. Bernard who, during the battle of Hong Kong, was attacking the Japanese who got close, sending them back (the Japanese called the huge dog the “black devil” or something like that). The dog also saw how the Canadian soldiers were throwing back any grenades lobbed at them.

At one point, none of the men, all injured, could reach a Japanese grenade. Gander took the grenade in his mouth and ran as fast as he could, over the hill towards the Japanese, killing himself and many opponents.

The dog had been adopted by a regiment of the Canadian Army stationed in Gander, NF. The Canadian War Museum and other groups worked to get the dog a posthumous medal for bravery in 2000, and his name is now engraved on the Veterans Memorial Wall in Ottawa (survivors of the battle insisted on that).

Long story short, on these and so many occasions, dogs truly demonstrate that they are “man’s best friend.”

What a sad story that you posted (and sorry for my lengthy response; I had to edit it!). I’m sure the handler of this missing dog is heartbroken. It appears the dog is too (”subdued”). I hope by some miracle he is returned.

From the famous quotes file:

This one is Rusty Duritz in the movie "THE KID" starring Bruce Willis
So, I'm forty, I'm not married, I don't fly jets, and I don't have a dog? I grow up to be a loser.

Taliban are a bunch of losers so they needed to have a dog!

I propose trading John Kerry to the Taliban in exchange for that dog.

A Springer spaniel called Theo hit the headlines when he died of a broken heart hours after his handler was killed. The 22-month-old dog suffered a fatal seizure when his handler, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, 26, was shot dead by the Taliban in March 2011.

Poor dog. Obviously uptight. Wouldn’t want to be caught in a nest of Moslems!

I made it through one show where a dog seemed to be pulled in to protect its handler. It was killed but the handler survived. He carried the cremains home.
Several years ago I talked to VN dog handlers. They loved their dogs and to that day shed tears about no dog surviving VN. They were deliberately destroyed. AS a dog lover I’m glad I didn’t get that specialty code.
