    Default A tribute to 4 legged veterans and their handlers

    I made this slideshow yesterday. I've collected pictures of handlers and their dogs that I have worked with and around over the past years. These are just a few. There is alot more meaning to some of these pictures than the majority of you will know. But many of you seeing this know some of these guys and some of their stories. It took me on a nice trip down memory lane going through these photos. Enjoy.

    GREAT VIDEO, THOSE ARE SOME GREAT GUYS. Are those all EOD dogs? Do you ever do any work with mal, or Dutch Shepards? I was surprised not to see any.

    I couldn't watch more than 20 seconds, if that. Saw more times than one can imagine men cry over losing their partner in arms, confidant and dare I say best friend. What a tribute, but one that brings back memories that I am just not ready to choke down yet.

    I only worked with labs, but I have mals and sheps here. The ones pictured were USMC IED detection dogs with grunt units.
