There are lots of people who have great things to say about dogs in battle but I?m not one of them. We went on a five man ambush, the handler was #6, guess the dog was #7. We set up in a pretty thick area. Around 2 AM we could hear some movement and the dog started to growl loudly. We started taking fire and ?someone? shot the damn dog. We beat feet and got the hell out of there.

At dawn we re-entered the wire and the handler went straight to our CO and wanted someone brought up on charges for killing his animal. I love dogs and have had one most always but a million dogs were not worth the life of one of those guys on that bush. Seems combat dogs are like liquor. You can have good or bad experiences with them. Guess the same could be said for women.

Stay healthy,
Andy
