XVII- War. Dogs.

I wasn't going to talk about war dogs in the blog, until a new article popped up that expressed the same fan boy-spirit I had for them. War dog's, also called Military Work Dog or MWD's, recently got highlighted all over the news because of the helicopter raid on Bin Laden's complex, which utilized at least one dog.

And, oh yeah...I SAW THIS PICTURE

I originally expressed my interest in war dogs watching Diane Sawyer gloss over all the expensive items these dogs get tricked out with. I started thinking about how police dogs are trained to take down attackers by biting them, and I imagined if their mouth had some teeth, similar to a bear trap. Sure enough, these dogs get missing teeth replaced with titanium (although not as awesome as my bear trap concept). Teeth, according to D-Soy, that are broken during training. Titanium is named after the Titans from Greek Mythology,

The thing I most like about involving dogs in combat, that it's kind of a retro concept. People used to utilize animals in combat all the time, horses, elephants, etc. and moved away with the advancement in technology. Now, these advancements allow these animals to get re-introduced into combat. Lucky them! Seriously though, pretty soon it's going to be like a sci-fi novel or something similar, with Chewbacca's running around with laser guns.
