Great photo. Chris used to be my soldier. I called him in Walter Reed from Africa when I heard that he was hurt. He is still at Bragg working in the Kennels today.Originally Posted by hogdriver
At first I didn't even notice that he has a prothetic leg. It's great how the technology evolved and that the soldiers can still work on. It may not be the same as still having their leg but I guess it's the next best thing.
Back on topic: Yesterday there were a couple Feldjäger/German MP at my company with their Belgian Shepherd. Great dog, couldn't make any pictures of course

A US Marine from 1st Battalion, 8th Marines plays with a trained dog at Shagali patrol base, in Musa Qala District, Helmand province on February 3, 2011. Each trained dog used for special purposes in the military can cost 70,000 USD upwards. A 140,000-strong force of NATO-led international troops stationed in Afghanistan currently fighting a Taliban-led insurgency is now entering its tenth year.
This photo provided Feb. 3, 2011, by Darrell Rusk shows his son, Marine Pfc. Colton Rusk, with Eli, a black Labrador being retired from military service following the death of Rusk. Cotton's parents are adopting the bomb-sniffing dog who the military says loyally rushed to their son's side when he was fatally shot. The 20-year-old Texan died in December during a gun battle with Taliban fighters.
