War Dog - A Photo Essay {Atlanta Dog Photographer}

I love dogs, and I love and support our military.  So of course I was instantly intrigued by this photo essay on Foreign Policy.com by Rebecca Frankel.   The pictures are fantastic, but there's also some great information.  The photo of the soldier sky diving with his canine partner is awesome.  And....doggles?!  (Yes, those are goggles for dogs.)




There's no question that these dogs can bring both unique capabilities as well as intense loyalty to their human comrades.  It's very encouraging to see these brave canines treated with respect, as opposed to dogs in previous conflicts who were considered equipment and disposed of.  The fact that a dog reportedly played a critical role in the recent location and demise of Osama bin Laden should prove their value.  [Atta boy!]
