The bond
between humans and dogs emerged over eons of campfires,
hunts, and battles, and today is no different. Dogs still
lie around a campfire, enjoy a hunt, and yes, go into
battle. At this very moment military working dogs (war dogs)
are deployed around the world with our fighting forces;
places like Iraq and Afghanistan. These highly trained dogs
are guarding the sleeping, securing bases and supplies,
hunting the enemy, scouting for snipers and booby-traps,
finding explosives, sniffing out drugs, and tracking the
lost. Day in and day out war dog teams are protecting and
saving the lives of Alabama men and women, often with dying
loyalty. Their story needs to be told, sacrifices and glory
remembered, and their unwavering love and affection never
forgotten. So please join us in saluting war dogs and their
Alabama handlers by helping to build a memorial, the
Alabama
War Dogs Memorial Foundation;
man’s best friend deserves nothing less.
