Carly M745, a security forces K-9 with the 332nd Expeditionary Security Forces Group is sedated to have blood drawn on July 3, during a canine blood drive at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Just like humans, this life saving contribution can be used for another K-9 of the same blood type when needed. Military working dogs at JBB have their blood tested prior to being used as a donor for blood typing and to ensure they are ideal donors. Carly is deployed to JBB from the 87th Security Forces Squadron at McGuire Air Force Base, N.J. Photo by Tech. Sgt. Caycee Cook
