Dedicated to our four-legged Special Operations heroes.
Since the Global War on Terrorism, Military Working Dogs
have played a crucial role within Special Operations.
Known as Multi-Purpose Canines, They're dedicated, fearless and highly trained warfighters capable of operating in the most extreme and austere conditions.
Less than 1% of all Military Working Dogs are selected for Special Operations.
Unlike conventional single-purpose Military Working Dogs, Special Operations K9s specialize in multiple roles, including target tracking and apprehension, bomb detection, crowd control and detecting hidden threats.

For those of you that are considering a working dog for yourself and or your family, know one thing, you are his leader, his love, and his life. If you are not willing to take on that responsibility in its entirety, please don't bother.

“Tonight he saved my life. Tonight he had saved my brother’s lives. “. And all he wants in return is some treats maybe, a good scratching of his scruff, and chasing a tennis ball until your arm almost falls off from throwing it so much. All he wants is love. All of that and to think in times past, when the war was over, these beautiful, loving dogs who worked so hard, were left behind to fend for themselves. It’s heartbreaking to think about it. But the heartbreak is eased now that the military is more humane about the life and welfare of these animals who gave so much but asked for so little in return!!

[@ccnrps123]

In the past, sadly they may have been left behind. But now, they are a part of the same team as their human counterparts. They are just as important and usually get to remain with their handler. Finally, our government is doing something right.

In the 1970s, my grandmother was looking for a guard dog. She found a giant breed German Shepherd who had flunked out of special forces training school but was still an excellent civilian companion. She named him Caesar. He was the most loyal and dedicated dog I have ever known. He weighed nearly 150 lbs and was the size of a pony. Solid muscle and fiercely protective of her. We loved him so much.

Rotweilers, Dobermans, Molosus-breeds, American Pitbulls, Kangals, Corsos, Caucasian Bear-dogs... they're all fearsome breeds.... but it looks like we designed the perfect man-killing dog: the Malinois. The breed has incredible intelligence (eg: knows when to stay quiet), fantastic prey-drive (high-speed chaser), surprising bite-force (for not being a molossian), well-known athleticism (jumping, crawling, etc...), and a lovable human-like personality, to boot. Perfect dog for the role.
