"I’ve always been a HUGE animal lover! I’ve rescued fallen birds, hurt squirrels, and helped lost animals find their way back home. My favorite story is when I found a cat in our backyard with no tags or chip. It was the cutest cat I’d ever seen. He was grey and looked like a tiger. I gave it some food and hoped it would find its way back home eventually, but days later he still lingered around, so I asked my dad if we could keep him until we found his home. We never did and we kept him. We called him Goofball. The name was quite appropriate because he would play fetch, run down the hall and jump off the walls, and would meow like he was trying to talk to us. He would even curl up with me at night and sleep along side of me. I miss that little guy!"

Military working dogs first entered the service in 1942 to serve in the Army’s K-9 Corps. Today, these dogs, who have an actual military service record book assigned to them, are still playing an active role in searching for explosives and seizing enemies. Military working dogs have been used by the U.S. armed forces since World War I. In World War II, 436 scout dogs walked combat patrols overseas, often detecting the enemy at a 1,000 yards, long before the enemy became aware of them. Dogs continued to serve with distinction in other conflicts, such as Korea, where the Army used about 1,500 dogs, primarily for guard duty. During the Vietnam War, nearly 4,000 dogs were employed and, officially, 281 were killed in action. Today’s conflicts include dogs at every level, still serving our country, helping to protect our troops.
