Yes, all servicemen and women should be allowed to keep the dogs they train. Also when they train a dog sometimes they still need that dog. They also love their dogs. They need them because they have an unbreakable bond between them. Also because of the friendship they have. It is important that they have their dogs because they love them. They love them because of all the time they spent training them. The love between them is the most powerful thing of them all. Another very important reason is the bond between them. This bond is unbreakable because of the friendship and love they share. It is also important that they keep them because in the military during the fighting, training, and searching the dog becomes their best friend and
One reason is responsibility. Parents always want their kids to grow up and become responsible. Well having a dog is a good way for responsibility.you have to remember to feed them close to the same time everyday. Filling up their water when it is empty or close to empty,so you have to pay attention. Taking the dog on walks to make sure it gets the proper exercise it needs. Bathing the dog even if it becomes a struggle and taking them to the vet to make sure they are healthy.
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
Have you ever wondered, “What happens to those poor dogs in the pound?” The answer ends with death and sadness. But, that's only if they aren't adopted and that is normally the case. Doggy’s in the pound are disabled or are lost just waiting to find their owners who will grab them in their arms and play with them. Although it's hard to not get a dog from a store or a breeder pound dogs get killed, put to their misery. When dogs are put down they don't only get to doggy heaven they have to suffer. Literally Dog is God spelled Backwards!
In her book Reporting For Duty: True Stories of Wounded Veterans and Their Service Dogs, she shares the stories of veterans who use a service dog to help cope with different disabilities. Libby also covers topics such as the history and use of various types of service dogs at military facilities and the organizations and processes that help to produce a service dog for the veterans that need them. The cost of training a service dog can range from $8,000 to $70,000 depending on the training required and whether it comes from a shelter or breeding program (172). According to Libby, “the average cost of a guide dog, for example, runs about $60,000, whereas training for a therapy dog averages about 10,000” (189). While training a service dog can be expensive, several organizations supply service dogs to veterans at no cost through individual donations, fundraising, and other similar methods (174). The book uses pictures of dogs performing various jobs on almost every page and is well organized and detailed. This will be helpful for my essay because it covers how what factors determine costs for trained service dogs, who pays those costs, and the history of changes that have occurred in the military with service
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
There are several organizations that train and sell these dogs privately to veterans suffering from
Veterans should be able to adopt their service dog. Service dogs and there handlers have an unbreakable bond. In addition, these dogs can provide support while injured veterans heal.
Dogs are used for a lot more things than just pets. They can be used for a variety of different things. For example, they can be used to help people with different kinds of disabilities. These types of dogs are called service dogs and to be a service dog they have to fall under this definition written by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) “ ... any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability....”. People have service dogs for all types of reasons.
When owning a dog, studies show that more people that own dogs have less doctor visits and miss less days at work. It also motivates people to be more active in society and become social. People with a lot of energy tend to buy or adopt a dog. There are so many dogs that have just as important jobs as humans. Many people adopt dogs for their disabilities. Some common jobs for dogs include guide dogs, therapy dogs, war dogs, and search and rescue. A couple less common jobs are herding, acting dogs, hunting, sled, and dogs who are trained to detect seizures. Dogs can not only find bombs and weapons but also bedbugs said one book (Hare page 116)
Dogs: War Machine? “The relationship between a military working dog and a military dog handler is about as close as a man and a dog can become. You see this loyalty, the devotion, unlike any other and the protectiveness” (“Robert Crais Quotes”). Dogs have been used in war for a long time. They were used in countless American wars with other countries (English 10-13).
Dogs are used since ancient times when the Corinthians defeated the Greeks, when Romas guard their legions and raised alarms, even they were used by Atila for protection. This is because of the loyalty dogs have to their owners, using this for motivation made the training easier for soldiers. Dogs really played a crucial role during World War I, in fact they proved to be just as dependable as
The Military has been using Canines and other types of dogs for tactical reasons because of great sense of knowing when a bomb or sense of danger is around. But these animals have been subjected to being injured or emotionally scarred. Although in some instances these animals have had their rights taken away from them and it’s not like these animals can speak for themselves and tell those who really for their well being that they are in pain and don’t want to feel that way any longer.
I think service men and women should be aloud to keep the military dogs they train. There are many reasons I think this. The first reason is, a war dog is a soldier’s best friend. The second reason is the bond between military dogs and their handler is unique. The following will contain evidence for those reasons.
In wars thousands of years past, men have had more than just cannons and swords at their sides. Dogs have stayed by humans through the impossible, sacrificing themselves for their owners even in the most life-threatening circumstances. What could be more life-threatening than the frontlines of a war, or being on the trail of a dangerous criminal? Dogs have the incredible natural senses and an unshakable loyalty to humans that makes them a valuable asset to first responders.
The military should allow this because the dog and their handler have created a special bond, since the dog was raised from a puppy. Although the army owns the dog, retired veterans have been trying to adopt their best friends. A soldier named Jose tried to get his dog back from the army after he was injured in the line of duty. Eventually, Jose did get his dog back, but not before months of paperwork and phone calls were made, and then the military finally agreed to surrender the
