Dogs of War

Perhaps, in extreme situations, it is possible to see the best qualities of people and dogs. For those who have an abiding affection for dogs, the following article is just confirmation of what we already know. For those who wonder why ‘dog people’ are so devoted to their pets, this is why:

Personally, I think the military should honor these dogs of war officially. I realize that it makes absolutely no difference to the dogs. It would be meaningful to the people who serve with and love these dogs. They are, in every sense of the word, front line combatants.

Those poor dogs, no one gave them the option of whether to go to war or not.

Hello, I just got turned on to these comments pages and read your article. In the past dog’s have been honored for their deeds in combat and the compaionship that they have with the soldier’s that tend them. But it is far and few, as well as in places that are hard to find. But I do think it is time that the Federal Government gave them some recognition in Washington D.C.

And for dog’s not really noticing, I think they are smart enough to realize when they are receiving extra attention. They may know care fro the monument, but when their owner’s start to feel more pride in them after visiting such a monument, I think they can sense the change. They see things differently than we. But then they still live right next to us.

What are your thoughts?
