Morty visits Dr. Saul, the veterinarian, and says, "My dog has a problem." Dr. Saul says, "So, tell me the problem." Morty explains, "He's a Jewish dog. His name is Izzy and he can talk.” "He can talk?" the doubting doctor asks. "Sure, watch this!" Morty points to the dog and commands, "Izzy, Fetch!" The dog walks toward the door, then turns around and says, "But why are you talking to me like that? You always order me around like I'm nothing. And you only call me when you want something. And then you make me sleep on the floor, with my arthritis. You give me this fahkahkta food and tell me it's a special diet but it tastes like dreck! You should eat it yourself! And do you ever take me for a decent walk? Nope, it's out the house, a short pish …show more content…
Saul is flabbergasted, "This is remarkable! So, what's the problem?" Morty says, "He has a hearing problem! I said 'Fetch,' not 'Kvetch." The Israeli army's elite canine unit cannot talk but they are trained to the highest level. Known as Oketz, the unit was established back in 1974, and is part of the IDF Special Forces. In October 2014, Israel’s Channel 2 announced that at least four of these competent dogs from the canine unit were killed in battle during Operation Protective Edge while they saved more than twenty lives. The Oketz dogs are used to sniff out explosives, in tunnel protection, to sniff out booby-trapped buildings and to guard communities along the Gaza border. Dog handlers are often wounded in explosive incidents, but because their dogs absorb the brunt of the blow, soldier’s lives are spared. Despite the IDF’s use of dogs, relatively few Israeli homes have one. The dynamic and meaningful relationship that forms between a dog and his owner, are less frequently found in …show more content…
When four legged friends are working dogs, we are appreciative of their skills and we look after their needs. Jewish text is familiar with the dog in its role as guard dog and sheep dog. Jewish communities have benefitted from sled dog, tracking dog, water dog, and police dog and in other forms of work. On the other hand, the identification of dogs as pets is another story. In Exodus, G-d informs Moses of the tenth plague on Egypt, the slaying of the first born. “There shall be a great outcry in the entire land of Egypt, such as there has never been and such as there shall never be again. But against all the Children of Israel, no dog shall wag its tongue, against neither man nor beast, so that you shall know that the Lord will have differentiated between Egypt and Israel.” How miraculous is this; no dogs barked and called attention to the homes of the Israelites where Torah was
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.

These dogs are trained because of their superior sense of smell, and ability to search and find in impossible places.

Dog aided therapy in a combat theater began in that same year. The dogs each had a value of $25,000 invested in them for their training process. The foremost service dogs underwent training for two years valued expensively at $25000 to $50000 per year (Ritchie and Amaker, 2012). The research focuses on investigating the significance and input of service dogs towards benefiting veterans and service members diagnosed with or at risk of PTSD.

Is there any coffee left?” Ernest asked, holding up his cup. “Sure,” Don said and filled it. “I don’t know if you knew it, but once Butch healed, he was the sweetest dog, I have ever seen. He lived in our home for years until we gave him to my nephew for his son.” Ernest smiled and said, “I never knew that. It was funny at the time you scared the hell out of me when you told me you gave no one discounts. If anybody asked for one that you charged them double.” “I remember the expression on your face was priceless.” “It surprised me when you told me, your name was Don and to never call you doctor again.” Ernest said, "It sure didn’t take you long to decide you wanted the sick animals, and I could have the healthy ones until we found homes for them. Was that your original plan?” “Oh, no, when I saw you with the injured dog, I knew at once, we could work together, and the stories around town about you were bullshit,” he said, as the phone rang. “Dr. Kelley, my I help you,” answering the phone, he said. “What’s wrong with Fluffy today?” “Sure, I’ll come by after work. It will not be necessary to bring Fluffy to the
The Georgia police department responded to a wrong burglary call and shot the homeowner and killed his dog. The officers did not have the address of the home but just the description of it.

A war dog is a soldier’s best friend. There are many articles and stores made specifically to prove how important military dogs are, not only to serve their duties but, to also bond with their handlers. Every story I have read had a part of how happy and completed soldier’s lives were. By completed I mean, every story the author said, “There is a unique bond between a military dog and its handler.” In my opinion that means
Canines have been a human’s companion since the beginning of times. The thought of a nice suburban family, a picket fence, and a dog or two as a pet tend to come to mind when one may think of them. Nevertheless, these intelligent animals have diverse abilities to be trained for specific war engaging tasks and have been used since the beginning of time. “The ancients knew and valued the war services of dogs several thousand years ago.”1 Throughout the Great War era, hundreds of different types of animals were implemented throughout the battlefield for a multitude of uses. They replaced humans for certain missions in which their physical attributes allowed them to have a higher success rate. This also meant keeping more men out of danger, which

According to "The Call of Duty", dogs have been in wars throughout history, which shows that dogs have always been loyal friends in war.

This prevents soldiers from stepping on bombs and loosing limbs or worse.
A man in a navy blue collared shirt walks by with a women and a child. “ This one is a new arrival.” the owner said pointing straight at me. The woman looks at me but the child ignores me and moves on to the next dog pointing and screeching “ I want that one! I want THAT ONE!” The woman walks over and kindly said “ We will take this one.” Then she took

His wife just stood there nodding her head. That night they didn't go to sleep knowing that they had messed up their lives! They both knew that something was going to happen but they didn't know what......
He went to his room and started thinking on his bed. “If I don’t get whatever I want, I will get it myself. Besides, fifty-five dollars per person is nothing,” mumbled Bill. “But it is horrible! Fifty dollars is too much. Come on!” shouts the dog. Without listening, Bill continued his business. “Just listen! Understand! Your dad just lost his job! And your mom is trying her best to not let this house get bought!” Shouted the dog again. Still, Bill was not listening and just put the dog in his cage and locked it as hard as he can.
