| Carlos, war-dog veteran, 2014 |
In June of 2014, five US veteran war
dogs were present on Capitol Hill to represent canines in an effort to establish
that Congress emphasize a law passed last year saying that the
military “may” bring back working dogs to the United States to be
reunited with their handlers; to be changed that they go back with
their handlers when their tour of duty is finished. Carlos, pictured
at left, has his own Facebook page.
Dogs have a long history of
participating in warfare reaching back to ancient times. Dogs
continue to participate in military roles.
