Well at least they didn't shoot her for deserting...

MUTTDAY THREAD IS LATE

The Aussies saved my granddad in WWII, so I now feel that we are finally even.

I wonder if it fed off dead bodies

Sabi was rescued by an American serviceman who suspected she was not an enemy combatant

Gotta be careful, since those enemy combatant dogs don't wear uniforms. Or dog tags.

Oh man I have something in my eye....

I didn't even have to click the link, the headline alone forced some mascara flakes into my peepers.

how did they identify the dog? The article didn't mention ID, a chip, or even a pack.

woopty friggin doo.

Raw chicken? Welcome to the world of pink eye Sabi....

/I keed

This has Manchurian candidate written all over it. Don't be surprised when Sabi runs for Prime Minister.

Awesome. Thanks for that.

Notice there are no videos for cats welcoming soldiers home. Callous bastards.

/have cats and a dog

gadian: how did they identify the dog? The article didn't mention ID, a chip, or even a pack.

Probably the fact that it's an Australian breed in Afghanistan?

Maybe he had one of these:

Okay, it is impossible not to get teary watching those.

Just curious... what sort of farked up training does a dog have to go through to detect traces of trinitrotoluene or whatever explosives and then communicate that detection. I am not saying whatever training involved is cruel it is just unusual.

gadian: how did they identify the dog? The article didn't mention ID, a chip, or even a pack.

Something tells me a specially trained dog, property of the military, is chipped at the very least.

Awesome story.

Goddammit, I miss my dog.

Subby has something in his eye, wait what?

With the flue going around, wash your hands first before picking at it.

Once again, the only time it's OK to have "something in your eye" is when it's related to the military.

Beautiful link mang

/I'm a cat person, so high praise indeed

thanks.

Goodboy Dogmeat. Goodboy.

gadian: how did they identify the dog? The article didn't mention ID, a chip, or even a pack.

I'd try saying to the dog, "sit!" If that didn't work, then I'd say "چوک", and see which one it responds to.

I think it's OK if there are children or old people involved also.

I may be wrong.

Stanfan114 - Damn you for making my allergies act up even more than the original article.

And just in time for Caturday!

I don't know about the tactic being used afterward, but during the German/Soviet war the Soviets used dogs as anti-tank weapons. They trained dogs in a Pavlovian way to think that food was found underneath tanks. Then they strapped mines to the dogs and released them on the front lines. The dogs would then run underneath a German tank and BOOM!

That was a nice cry before bed. :)
