Man Bites Dog

Here in Iraq we are privileged to have a whole MP Canine unit as part of our Task Force MP. This allows to take both explosives detecting dogs and human tracking dogs with us on missions for use in checkpoints and elsewhere. The Iraqis are also scared of dogs so they keep over curious bystanders away while we do our work.

These are two of the dogs/handlers that usually come with us. I especially like our German Shepherd "Barry."

One day when we didn't have much going on we stopped by the kennels to help train the dogs. Instead the dogs trained us! Cheer as I get attacked by a small feisty little dog. (Video to come)
