In the United States military forces, war dogs are associated with the troops and they take significant part in the war game. The SEAL Team Six and the most popular "Soldier Dog" named Cairo were commissioned to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden way back in 2011. In the operation, Cairo used his dog senses and canine skills to accomplish the mission of killing Bin Laden. This Dog was effective aid in the triumph of the operation. Other military dogs are used as sniffing dogs to discover threats (similar to what you see at the airports), some are guards and companions of the military troops, some are used for search and rescue operations. The war dogs are also used to guide and lead the soldiers in dark and treacherous places. Closeness and faithfulness are developed between the handlers and trainers. They are genuine lovers of dogs and with their beloved friends, they are an indispensable members of the military. According to Maria Goodavage, author of the new book "Soldier Dogs", dogs' extreme sensitivities and alertness make them great in the battlefield. She added that dog's sense of smell is stronger and greater than human thus they can recognize if danger and fear are at hand much more effectively. Dogs are more vigilant than we are and they are always ready to attack. There is inseparable relationship between trained dog and his military master as they often sleep and eat together, moreover play together. Greatness of military dogs is achieved by the patience and compassion of their handlers. Dog is man's best friend and a great companion and protector in times of danger and war. The training of dogs, especially the Belgian Malinois dogs, is usually conducted in Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. Texas. Training is tough and tiresome for both the handlers and the canines during the preparation for the battlefield or a special mission. The course also includes lessons and training for the development of extreme physical tolerance and mental readiness. Trainers at Lackland are also required to know basic commands in different languages. Some smaller dogs like the tiny Jack Russell terrier "Lars J274" are also included in the Navy services. These dogs are great in sniffing bombs in submarines. Breeding and training of military or war dogs are customary practice in Germany and Netherlands. After the accomplishment of the mission or when the war is over, the military dogs are brought back to the United States and oftentimes are adopted by their handlers which bring them home to their families. However, during Vietnam era, war dogs were treated harshly and the poor dogs were abandoned and even erased after the service. Unfortunately, today dogs are still treated only as tools and instruments in the war instead of co members of the team. In 2012, bipartisan Canine Members of the Armed Forces Act presently proposes its way through both houses of Congress to have clear and definite plan for the retirement, adoption, care and appreciation of military working dogs.

Bomb dogs, anti-tank dogs used by the Russian Red Army were true victims because of desperation. The Russians were overwhelmed by the Eastern Front from the German Wehrmacht so they had trained dogs to carry bombs to specific targets. Once they released the device from their teeth the dogs should have gone back to their operator. This was nearly impossible to get them to do this and in the end they just blew up the dog when they reached their target. The average bomb the dogs carried were 26 pounds that was strapped onto them. They were kept deliberately hungry all the time. This made the dogs run to targets thinking they would be fed, totally unaware of their deadly fate. When the dog dived under a tank a lever that was attached to their rig would cause the bomb to detonate on contact. Because it was so effective, Germans began to shoot all dogs on sight out of paranoia. Thought undocumented, there were an estimated 300 German tanks destroyed and over 40,000 dogs used by the Soviets for different Army tasks.

This is an amazing story that came out of a war. In Afghanistan 3 dogs saved the lives of 50 men. As a result, two of these dogs were brought home to live with the soldiers that they saved. Some of our men stationed in Afghanistan made friends with some dogs that were living on the street. Later on, when a suicide bomber tried to sneak inside their camp, these dogs alerted the soldiers to their presence, thus saving their lives. It is to show that dogs don't take sides, they just behave as humans should. These dogs are truly the best friend that these men could get!

A military dolphin is one that is trained to be utilized in military operations. Both the US and Russia have trained and used dolphins for many different uses.

Navy in the 1st and 2nd wars in the Gulf. There are currently about seventy five dolphins being trained and used. Because of the secrecy of this training, there are whispers of military-trained dolphins that can put mines underwater, to find enemies, or to search for and eliminate underwater subs using self-destructive ways. There have even been guesses about the possible creation of intelligent add ons, such as harmful darts, sonar stopping devices, and other tools for dolphins. The US military denies ever engaging in such a training program, but controversy theorists don't buy it. In the mid 2000s there was a news report that after a hurricane some military dolphins had escaped. The military said that these stories were just rumors or urban legends. These dolphins are trained by special teams of Navy mammal trainers. Different teams have different responsibilities for training the dolphins about different tactics. Dolphins are educated just like the dogs that police use for their work. When they do something right they are given rewards like fish. Dolphins are educated to find mines and enemies and then give the news to their trainers.
