Dogs used in Osama hunt to fight Reds

NEW DELHI: Cousins of the special breed canines, which assisted the US Navy Seals in sniffing out Osama bin Laden from his safe haven in Pakistan , will now help Indian security forces in 'find and fix' anti-Naxal operations in dense forests and difficult terrains.

The imported dogs are a specialized breed of the Belgian s h e p h e rd s, also called 'Malinois'.

"This is the first time that security forces will be using canines in Naxal operations — a practice in line with Israeli and Nato forces operating in Afghanistan and other places," a senior officer involved in the training of these sniffers said.

Beautiful!

My baby girl looks exactly like this one, just a little older and not as fit, but just like it otherwise. Wonderful dogs. They are a handful, though.

And they should drive herds of pigs ahead of them, to flush out the terrorists.

I heard the dogs like to one used in the Osama raid wear earbuds to better hear his handler and have titanium implants to enhance their bite. Yikes!

Their energy is through the roof. It’s a bit like owning a big coiled spring covered in fur. I’ve never owned a dog like it.

I’d assume all members, k9, human or otherwise all get ‘dog tags’

So there dog dog tags :)

When Rocky the WonderLab’s plastic tag broke a while back, I ordered Stainless steel tags from Soldiercity... One for the collar, and one for a spare. Cheaper than the cheap plastic ones you find in pet stores, too.

Why shouldn’t the dog have official “dog tags”? The dog works as hard as the soldier-handler. And whether the dog is USMC, Navy, Army or Coast Guard, the dog is always SEMPRE FIDELIS.
