There's a lot of speculation about the Special Ops Dog which accompanied the Mission in Pakistan.
Was it a German Shepherd or another breed? (Most Special Op Dogs are either German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois)
Did it have titanium fangs? (Yes....some of the Special Op Dogs have a titanium cover fitted over their front fangs so their bite can pierce personal armor. Can you imagine anything scarier than a big growling dog with shiny steel fangs? I'm thinking Stephen King Novel here)
Was he a bomb dog or a tracker? (Apparently, dogs don't multi-task anymore. They are specifically trained to be explosive sniffers or human trackers)
Did he carry equipment? ( Most dogs don't go fur-only anymore into a job. They have flack jackets to protect them from bullets or knives....they can have collars with an intercom and/or camera attached so their handler can talk to them as well as see what they see...and some have a short pole that sticks up from their flack jacket with a flashing light so their trainers can see them in dark/foggy conditions)
Was he a Euro Dog or an American Dog? ( Most of the military dogs have been bred in Europe where there is a strong tradition of breeding dogs for military use. In recent years, there's been talk that the US is starting to breed dogs here)
There's lots of possibilities......but
I know ONE THING for CERTAIN
MY DOG was not involved or would ever be considered
as his specialty is sleeping in t he sun.
