Itโs International Dog Day today ๐พ
Military Working Dogs are pups with a job ๐ฆฎ
From serving as scouts for special operations forces or sniffing out bombs for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians, they are vital to Allied forces. And next year, ๐ฌ๐ง #UK pups from the 1st Military Working Dog Regiment will be tasked with supporting the #NATO Response Force, the Allianceโs high readiness crisis response force. There, these dogs will be responsible for supporting a multinational force, keeping NATOโs soldiers away from bomb threats.
While they may look soft and cuddly, military working Dogs are not pets. For military commanders, their mission is considered โno-failโ: if a fails to detect a hidden bomb, it could put both canine and human lives at risk. Thus, their training programs are long and intensive, preparing them to do their job without being distracted by humans.
