Dogs in warfare have a very long story in the past centuries. From war canines trained in combat to their use as sentries, scouts and trackers, their uses have been varied and continue to exist in the modern military usage. They were used by the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans. Retired working dogs are usually adopted as pets or therapy dogs.
It is important to make sure that these canines can still work for their duties. If so, the dog will be brought to the government agency. If not, they are made available for military dog adoption and the past handlers is offered a first option to adopt. If neither of those happen, the dog will be offered to the public, so civilians can also adopt them.
When they are still young and active, they are often brought to detect explosives in many military operations. And since they have great ability to seek several enemy positions and be able to sniff out bombs and other weapon caches, they are saving many lives and allow mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, brothers and sisters to come home from war. Thus, in short, these canines are doing great job and a heroic service to public.
For many military personnel, retirement means going home. But, for many military working canines, the end of their career does not always lead to a ride home on military transports. The dogs are considered equipment and upon retirement, despite of their assigned ranks, they are not treated as canine veteran. Just like armored vehicle or tank, not all equipment makes it back of the nation.
Canines hold a very vital function and role across the world including sniffing out explosives or bombs and drugs, lifting the morale of injured soldiers and finding victims of natural calamities. There are actually puppies trained to serve the country, but half of them did not pass the aptitude tests. For this reason, they are put for adoption and open for soldiers and civilian adopters.
Because they are usually large breeds and some age issues, they often experience health issues like arthritis that restrict them from working. So, adopters should be aware of this situation and given months for potential medications to get started. These working dogs are investing too much to this dangerous task because of their loyalty and bond with their good handlers.
Therefore, it is necessary for civilians and soldiers to recognize their roles as they perform difficult tasks that most people cannot do. The only people who know them well are their handlers and the soldiers who are working with them. These animals are put in dangerous situations but they still perform any particular task, such as smelling bombs before it explodes.
They are saving so many lives as they are the most efficient at doing that. Any task is hard on the dogs and their adoptive families are also aware of it. Some handlers would notice that their adopted canine have symptoms of nervousness cause by post traumatic stress disorder. Most of them can develop PSTD. This is actually the reality of what these canines are used that affects them deeply.
They also experience post traumatic stress disorder, like people do. Individuals also owe them a lot so they also deserved to be loved by a happy family. They are made available for adoption once they returned home from war. They also deserved to be honored and loved.
