Chyba, Iraq War Veteran Dog

Chyba is a 12-year-old dog who had served with the U.S. military in Iraq. Since last year, this dog was adopted by Madeleine Pickens, wife of billionaire T. Boone Pickens. As a form of respect for Chyba and other military dogs, a monument was established at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas, California. (photo: AP Photo / Gregory Bull

Above, Rrisky, a Belgian Malinois puppy -- just like the one rumored to have gone on the bin Laden mission -- greets visitors at Lackland's kennels. The puppies names all are preceded with the letter "R" to show that they came from the "R" litter and to "indicate that they were bred through the program at Lackland." U.S. Air Force photo/Tech.

Irano, an 11-year-old retired military dog, is a good example. A former explosives detection dog, Irano has a debilitating disease called degenerative lumbosacral stenosis and has lost most of the function in his hind legs. But the Air Force found a good home for him with Army Sgt. Jeffrey Souder -- who has even built him a custom wheelchair. Coast Guard photo/PA3 Henry G. Dunphy
