'Accordin's Article Canines To The Rescue'

Last but definitely not least, military working dogs are another way that we can see animals working for us. Late one night on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, Cairo, a military working dog, braced for landing in one of two Black Hawk helicopters. Cairo, a Belgian Malinois, a breed known for acute intelligence, sat alert, supremely alert to the mood of the soldiers traveling with him. This was a different mission as the helicopters they

Dogs are not just cute and fuzzy friends. Since it has been thousands of years that dogs have been trained to do things for humans, we can now count on dogs to do very specific jobs. For example, the article from the U.S. Department of Justice says, “Service animals are defined as dogs that are

Dogs will protect you and they can also provide comfort and support in forms of affection and companionship for an individual suffering from various mental and emotional conditions.

These illnesses can make it hard to do actions needed in everyday life when they return home from the battlefield. Since these illnesses are often more mental rather than physical, one of the best ways to help soldiers who suffer with PTSD or TBI is to provide a service dog to help their needs. A service dog is “any dog that is individually trained to work or perform a task for the benefit of an individual with a disability” (“Service Animals”). It may be hard to train a service dog or even find a dog to train. Approximately 3.9 million dogs enter shelters nationwide each year and of those 3.9 million, about 2.7 million are euthanized each year (“Pet Statistics”). Many of these dogs that are in shelters are strays as a result of improper care from their previous owners. Much of the nation’s animal cruelty is a result of conflicts between their owners. A 2011 survey states that about 10.2 million men and women are physically assaulted by their partner in the United States every year, and 62 percent of the nation's households have at least one pet ("Animal Cruelty Facts and Statistics”). Animals are just the victims of the prejudice that is going on around

Dogs have the ability to be adversely trained for militaristic operations, they even have some characteristics that make them more qualified for a job than a human. Some of the jobs military dogs are used for are bomb detection, defense, messenger carriers, scouting for snipers or enemies etc. thus showing the adversity and importance of dogs. Compared to humans, dogs understanding of war and the moralities which are attached to war are nonexistent, thus making tasks more easily accomplishable because of dog’s compliance. Even though there are a vast amount of accomplishments that dogs can easily complete verse humans, simple task that acquire things such as apposable thumbs can be slightly more important for a human to accomplish them.

Did you know that over 300 rescue dogs were helping at 9/11? Jonah Goldberg, the author of ‘Canines to the rescue” knows these dogs are great. I know he is in favor of rescue dogs because he knows and thinks that dogs are brave, comforting, smart and many more traits! Dogs can sniff out survivors, comfort lots of people and can fit into small places humans cannot.

National USAR Response System Canine Search Teams play a critical role during structural collapse incidents, and many more disasters. The canines locate survivors, using their incredible sense of smell to detect live human scent, even from a survivor buried deep in rubble. FEMA USAR canine handlers are comprised of civilians, firefighters, and police department members (Canine's Role in Urban Search & Rescue, 2015). The most common breeds of dogs that are used for search and rescues teams are Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Border Collies and Golden Retrievers. Canines with a high toy drive are used for urban search and rescue. Which means it is basically a game of hide and seek for the dog. This is how the handlers

It is said that dogs are man’s best friend. However, in some instances, this relationship breaks down for various reasons and dogs attack. Such an accident can cause significant injuries both physically and mentally and can even lead to lose of life. Although you would hope this to be true, dog bites aren’t that uncommon. In fact, according to Center for Disease Control, around 4.5 million dog bites occur on a yearly basis in the United States. When you factor in the population in America, this stat means you have a one in 72 chance of experiencing a dog bite in your lifetime. This is a scary stat and one that shows the prevalence of the incident.

This has led to the belief that dogs can provide company, affection and support to people who are going through a difficult time or who feel lonely. Dogs have aided humans in tasks such as hunting, livestock herding, and guarding. However, as society moved from small rural communities to increasingly large metropolitan areas, the dog’s role changed. Throughout the years a more specific type of

Humans are starting to help the dogs while the dogs are helping the humans not get injured. We have dogs that help search for bombs in school, also drugs .Police officers have dogs that are their partner . The dogs helps and protects the police officers. Humans now days train dogs to be harmful and to protect the owner or the owners family members.

Dogs have feelings. That’s the sad part about them! To just be fair and show them all we got and never put them down. Then this world won’t even have Abuse as a word. If only we show kindness and tender then life won’t be harsh to anyone or any dog. That may need time but it’s always a good start to show and read the eyes and hearts of them. To fully understand that abusing is a waste of time and loss of life. It’ll take them forever to recover their abuse and maybe never. Dogs will be scared of their own shadow. But maybe their spirits will be broken and heal less.

In World War II, dogs were starved in training and fed near or in tanks. In warfare, explosives were strapped to their backs, and when the nourishment-deprived dogs went to look for food, they exploded the enemy tanks, and themselves with it. Unlike human soldiers who are required to retire at age 62, dogs leave the force when they are killed, or are 10 to 12 years old; almost half of their life. The U.S. Military takes advantage of the fact that they can manipulate animals; however, it does not justify their treatment towards

Dog bites are very common injuries for both adults and kids. People bitten by a dog can have irreversible disfigurement, psychological trauma, and worse, even death. It's therefore necessary to always provide excellent care when dealing with dogs, even those which are considered as pets.

Military service animals have been an integral part of the military since the first World War. Service animals were trained to carry out messages, pull equipment throughout the battlefield, sniff out gas and much more. Service animals have their own duties they have to face during war, and without these four legged soldiers the military wouldn’t be as advanced as it is today. In World War II alone, Auel reported that there were about twenty thousand dogs along with other animals such as horses and mules, which were trained to work on the battlefields with the military soldiers. These service animals are a huge part of the U.S. Military, but the training they experience is something far from what it was in World War I.

They have been trained in combat to use their keen sense of smell to act as scouts, sentries and trackers. During World War Two. Anti-tank dogs, were trained in Russia to carry explosives to tanks, military targets and other armoured vehicles. They were trained vigorously by the Soviet military forces between 1930 and 1996. they were used against the German tanks during World War Two. Another war dog hero went by the name of Brian. He was in the 13th Battalion of the British Army. He had to train hard for his deployment and was a tough paratrooper. During his training, Brian learnt how to identify minefields, protect his comrades-in-arms. On D-day, he parachuted under heavy anti-aircraft fire onto the continent. He arrived their when the Allies liberated Normandy. A couple of months before the war ended, he also parachuted into Western Germany. There he marched to the Baltic Sea. After World War Two had ended, he received an award to recognise his ‘conspicuous gallantry’. Brian was a young Alsatian-Collie mix. War dogs would of had to have a lot of bravery and discipline to achieve the tasks required and to under go the training needed. By using animals to complete the task at hand was a cowardly act by the soldiers/commanders, but it just makes the animals so much more heroic. Many war dogs completed amazingly valiant tasks throughout the duration of World War Two and, in my opinion, not enough of them were recognised for their fearlessness. Although dogs, if trained correctly, will do basically anything their owner tells them to do, they have very keen senses that allow them to ‘sniff out’ danger. As well as dogs helping out in World war Two, many other animals also contributed to the war effort. These include horses, cats, birds, donkeys and
