In honor of Memorial Day this weekend, I thought I'd share this great National Geographic article in June 2014, of hero dogs that help our U.S. soldiers out on the battlefield.
Some dogs are assigned to go out ahead of a platoon to inspect if an area is safe for the other soldiers. There are some dogs that are used to sniff out bombs. These dogs are taught to take instruction far away from their handler to protect them, and they go through extensive training. These guys are amazing. Take a moment to read the article and learn about these hard-working, patriotic dogs that are helping save humans, every day.
The article can be found here.
