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.
