Military Dogs
Military working dogs first entered the service in 1942 to serve in the Army’s K-9 Corps. Today, these dogs are still playing an active role in searching for explosives and seizing enemies. Today’s conflicts include dogs at every level, still serving our country, helping to protect our troops.
Congratulations K9 Ultra!
