These dogs need to be celebrated just as much as our men and women in uniform. 3:50 I was fostering a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Apollo. He was an amazing pup. It took me 6 months to put two and two together to realize that he was alerting me to an upcoming Migraine. I didn't even know dogs could alert to Migraine. It was that day that I adopted him. We went through medical dog training, and he became an official Medical Alert Dog in 2018. What he was detecting was the dump of serotonin that my brain was doing 2-3 hrs. before the pain would start. He did this all on his own. He was never before trained in anything like this. He was born into a dog fighting ring and used as a bait dog. When they were done with him, he was used as a junk yard dog, left outside with no shelter. I saved his life, and he saved mine. RIP Apollo. I love you buddy and miss you everyday. Always remember God spelled backwards is Dog.
@@anugranmathimugan2778 What they're not telling to this day is that a lot of the Dogs weren't Left......They were Put Down, then left. It's almost unthinkable today, but that was the hard truth of my generation's War. My War, if you will. The Greatness of the War Dogs is such that the Biggest Baddest Most Violent Men on Earth, Our Spec Ops Warriors are brought to tears thinking, let alone Talking about the Selfless Valor, bravery and sacrifice of those Magnificent 4 Legged Warriors, who would Literally "Fight The World, and Die Gladly" for their Troops. Is it any wonder that Hard Men Weep for them, and that they were so loved, Admired and Respected by those who served and faced Death with them? Anybody who would say "Oh Well, it's Just A Dog" is a Damned Fool with something missing in their Character There Is No Such Thing as "Just A Dog" It's just my opinion, but I Humbly Submit...........Except for God's Love, and the sacrifice of his Only Son, there is no greater Gift that God has blessed Mankind with, than the Loyalty and Selfless Love of a Dog
Been training GSDs for 17 years. Breeding them etc. They imprint onto ONE human, for life. They will give their lives, HAPPILY, without a second thought, for that human. My personal dogs name is Captain America, my favorite hero. He's my shield, my guardian, my angel, my protector and above all else, best friend. The best decision I ever made was choosing him over a wife. Shit, save a lot of money that way lmao!
Sept 21, 2023. I had just watched the episode on Benno and his handler earlier in the day. Benno was a true war hero, I hope Mac no longer takes the blame for Benno being shot because it was not his fault. I am 63 y.o and I cried when Benno was shot and killed. What a beautiful series this is.
I live with a Belgian Malinois, and I love that dog so much. He's a family member. Hearing the veterans tell the story about the orders to leave their dogs behind made me cry. I think I can understand their pain. God bless these veterans and all K9 soldiers.
Fortunately now days things are a lot better because of animal rescue groups helping soldiers reunite with their K-9 partner. These animal rescue groups also helped soldiers bring home their furry companions that they adopted while surviving overseas. I think it’s lest that should be done. Here’s a quick story; Many of squads have adopted a dog or three in Iraq. These dogs would wait at units huts for their new pack mates to return for the day. The dogs and their human pack mates would greet each other and enjoy their evening together and other any other spare time they could find. Then one night a little after lights out the dogs outside would alert the dogs inside they might be something off and after few more moments they start barking like crazy which was unusual. That’s woke up their human pack mates and they then grab their rifles to see what was wrong. They just got outside when the insurgents started attacking the barracks area. But thanks to their K-9 pack mates early warning no one died and only a few wounded. There was some grumbling about the dogs from command but after the attack they stopped grumbling. The soldiers found a way to get the dogs shipped back to the states (often at high personal expense) to where a few of members of each squad adopted them into their families.
If they are enlisted, you HAVE to recover their remains and bring them back to the states for proper buriel. If you found the dogs in your duty then yes, you leave them behind. I currently have 7 still enlisted and 3 purple hearts as well as a few other medals for their duty.
The best things the Germans ever did was create this breed for the world. Literally man made breed for work. Happy to say I'm 3 years from being a 20 year trainer and specialize in this breed for very specific jobs.
You will never have a better friend than a K-9. I was a dog man in the BC prison service and those dogs were invaluable for cell extractions, riot control and tracking escaped prisoners. Military service dogs are a step above because the work environment can be so lethal. A Treeing Tennessee Brindle owns me now and she has me well trained, "who's a good human"
I had dogs all of my life and there is something i have heard and took in to my soul.While man cant stand next to you in the wind a dog will still be standing next to you in a storm. There is nothing more true then this.
Thank you for bringing this to light. I think the comment “if it has a heartbeat” makes them a soldier and should be valued. This needs to be shared with many more people. God bless you for doing this…these dogs deserve recognition, respect and a comfortable post duty life.
*We really need to do something about the law that treats animals like property, especially amazing animals like dogs and horses in our military! They're not just a tool, they are your partner!*
@@hakunahinata77 That's not true, animals are our companions, I'm not suggesting we should give them the same rights as humans obviously but make a whole new different laws that gives animals their own rights that are different from property and people.
for your government/military even humans are just tools to get what they want. everyone is replaceable and if you don't realize that i feel sad for yall.
Gentleman you in your war dogs are absolutely incredible. And whatever. Where are you guys were in you did a great job. Those were dogs. Keep up the great work.
My service dog is a Leavenworth wash out. I have had him for 5 years now and he is as close to me as my kids. He is the most loyal and protective animal I have ever seen
Just to be told they are a good boy or girl. Just to know they did good for their human is what they want. How people can betray neglect be cruel and abandon their dogs is beyond me. They just want to be our friend. Real friend.
The value of that dog can't be measured. As a former British infantry soldier, I can't reinforce that in any way shape, or form. I genuinely hope the K9s found the peace they truly deserve. absolutely priceless.
Leave No Dog behind..... Wow.....He loved "Willie" ...,his Buddy in Battle. There's my Boy..right there.....an that's the way i feel.... Point Dog's. Amen.
My family, all military focused. I was the only one that never served. But I've bred dogs for the Armed Forces so that's my duty. Knowing they are out there doing the jobs I bred them for makes me very...fulfilled. I wanted to be an NFO and couldn't do that so left a sour taste. Only a couple years later did I realize I had a different purpose. So happy to have donated those litters to my country. Happily.
US Customs and Border Protection Field Operations also classify them as equipment as well. The Officers do not keep them at home. At the end of the day the dogs are put in a kennel until the next shift. As a former handler I always thought this was the stupidest policy for a government full of stupid policies. You become so attached to them and then not having them at home with you is cruel to both the dog and the handler.
they are treated as a serving member. They have their own ranks, which is always one above their handler's rank, and their funeral procession is conducted the same way as would be for a human.
That's not the way it is today. They are SOLDIERS, even placed ranks above their handlers to protect them. When the dog goes down, you recover the body like you do any other soldier. Ots sad ot took a long time for this, but please know, times have changed.
I adopted a Belgian Malinois when she was 8 months old and quickly learned why they’re used in military operations. She is 1000% loyal and would put her life on the line to defend my family if needed
5:26 my dog is named willie a beautiful 2 year old german shepherd. I feel so heart broken for this man. I cant imagine it. His dog willie was beautiful! Thank you for your service sir and thank you for your service willie🫡😔
I adopted a MWD from the Air Force,with lots of work he is living a nice retired life. He is with my wife and I all the time and has made our life’s so much better. Cigan is 11 now and doing great.
Love these fur babies thank use for sharing ❤️ Rest in eternal love hopefully my boys are waiting for me to walk me down those dark tunnels when it's my turn..
Cried my eyes out. I will not be able to leave my dog behind. My oldest dog is 18yrs old now, can't even think of losing her. They become family. To be honest, I'll choose my dogs above most of my family.
So awesome! We’ve got a German shepherd, he’s a great dog, and he really would give his all for you. He sits and stares out our front window, he looks intimidating, but actually he’s very sweet and goofy.
These courageous valiant four-legged sentient beings are heroes and soldiers just like any other human soldier. They deserve any and all benefits/rights afforded to any soldier/veteran. Never leave a solider behind -- 2 legged or 4 legged. I am eternally grateful to every soldier (2 and 4 legged) for protecting my safety and freedom.
When operators are outside the wire and their K9 buddies are in field. you can bet every k9 handler treats the dogs as brothers as they would their comrades in arms. A dog is more than just another weapon at the front. the dog is saviour warrior, healer and mentor and a soldiers best friend. both in the fight and outside. It is hugely important we honour these brave souls who served and helped bring many of their brothers home safe. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE.
My heart goes out to all the k9 heroes in service, alive and to the lost in battle,, to all the soldiers in service or retired, to the families who have lost a family member or a friend to war.🐾.. thank you for your sacrifice. 🇨🇦
We have two German Shepherds and I am the president of our local club. Thank you for making this video. It is so important that breeders and sport people understand that this is the most important job we have. Not to win a title in show or in IGP, but to use the former to select the best dogs for service and that will save lives. ❤ The dogs are not equipment and deserve a beautiful retirement. ❤
Refreshing to hear from a responsible gsd breeder ! Idea is to improve the breed NOT JUST improve your bank bank balance. Unscrupulous breeders do rip people off & do irreparable damage to buyers of bad puppies. Long overdue to weed out breeders of genetically poor pups, or falsified pedigree papers. The vast majority of good gsd breeders really should jump on unscrupulous puppy farms and " name and shame" breeders of bad pups who do this over and over again. In Queensland Australia - controlling bodies for some dog breeders NEED to publicize bad breeders. The gsd deserves no less. Many thanks to all the breeders of good gsd pups, they improve the breed.
I have a German shepherd I'd do anything for her she watched the video with me I couldn't leave her behind just couldn't do it God bless all the soldiers 🙏 of war 14:00
My God seeing that man start shaking like that 11:50 due to veitnam along side the moving story of our K-9 soilders/partners. Broke me & put me in tears.
❤❤❤Thank you very much for the love and kindness and for the fight for them! MUCH RESPECT AND LOVE FOR THE SOLDIERS RET. We have one thing in common we would do anything for our dogs even die. No matter where we come from. Love from Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤❤❤
I ran several MWDs in both Iraq and Afghanistan. After 2016 in Afghanistan the moral was terrible in pour troops. We had way too many rules to follow all while we were losing our buddies everyday. I would give anything to have my Battle Buddy with me. Now days I get to visit his honor plaque at the Utah War Dog memorial.
Just hit me with the one picture @ 3:58. Having a combat dog would mean you would never be on your own, sleeping, using the restroom, always having someone watching your back that NEVER gets lazy and refuses to let go of a job until it is complete. That must make soldiers best friends and battle buddies if nothing else. I've heard interviews where men can talk about their best friends being blown up in front of them and not shedding a tear, but one combat dog and his soldier, and I've never seen a man hold a straight face.
Bless all them handlers and dogs incredible thank you for your service and fighting for the dogs to be recognized as the true heroes they are bless you all love and support from Liverpool UK 👏🙏❣️
I cry thinking of everyone I have loved in my life and lost. But my Belgium Malinois? Be still my beating heart! RIP Ghost! I'll catch you on the flip side! He was so smart and loving and capable! One of the best friends I ever had! We always had one another's back!
Nobody seems to ask about the puppies who were in training to become war dogs. My mother worked in Germany for the British Army veterinary war dogs. The young puppies were first sent to foster homes until they reached 6 months or so. Then they returned to the army training center. Those that made the grade were incorporated in the army; those that didn't were deemed too dangerous to go to family homes (yes, I understand) and put down, not always in a humane way. I visited the center one day and saw a line of puppies hanging from trees (dead or dying). I understand the bond that soldiers have with their dogs, but hopefully those dogs that return from battle are given a decent retirement.....
I'm a non-military guy man but I have family at the military and Marines besides the men and women that go out there and risk their lives which is no doubt the one of the most notable things to do for mankind but those dogs man those creatures God bless all of them they're beyond special. Thank you program I love your program it's awesome I'm going to continue supporting.
They are the best comrade you have besides your team and weapons! I am wanting to save some of them and let them live out their short lives after wartime. Mans best friend for sure, with love
I know the feeling being a senior dog handler in the Army of the sadness when you leave your dog. The dogs were more faithful then the current politicians in office.
This is very interesting and i would definitely like to know when this series?? This dog becomes a unit with his partner and his life should be greatly appreciated. He is a frontline partner. He goes in without hesitation in many situations. The German shepherd breed is definitely an amazing dog.
God Bless our Military Men, Women and our Military Dogs 🇺🇸 The War Dogs for Vietnam didn’t have any protection gear and it breaks my heart to hear they left them behind. Everyone that fights for American Freedom and to protect our soldiers DOG need recognition as well. What happens once our War Dogs come home? How many tours do the War Dogs do? Before they get retired?

And that's sad. But he sitting there lying will so many abandon K-9 soldiers left behind LAABAS.

Why !?? I don’t understand why they leave them over there
@@evansullivan3455 because the military sees them as tools

In Queensland Australia - controlling bodies for some dog breeders NEED to publicize bad breeders. The gsd deserves no less. Many thanks to all the breeders of good gsd pups, they improve the breed.
I have a German shepherd I'd do anything for her she watched the video with me I couldn't leave her behind just couldn't do it God bless all the soldiers 🙏 of war 14:00
My God seeing that man start shaking like that 11:50 due to veitnam along side the moving story of our K-9 soilders/partners. Broke me & put me in tears.
I was waging my tail throughout.
Thank you for giving a voice to the voiceless.
Loved this video. And he is right we owe these pups more than what they are given
Dogs are the greatest gift the creator spirit ever gave to humans.
❤❤❤Thank you very much for the love and kindness and for the fight for them! MUCH RESPECT AND LOVE FOR THE SOLDIERS RET. We have one thing in common we would do anything for our dogs even die. No matter where we come from. Love from Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤❤❤
ALWAYS TRUST YOUR DOG - YOUR DOG WILL NEVER LIE TO YOU!
YOUR DOG WILL ALWAYS TRUST YOU - NEVER LIE TO YOUR DOG!
God bless these heroes (dogs) rest in peace loving souls protectors and warriors 🙏🙏🙏
We owe these dogs everything. They are the goodest of boys and girls 🤘
Amen to that.
Blessings for dogs and their best buddies.
I ran several MWDs in both Iraq and Afghanistan. After 2016 in Afghanistan the moral was terrible in pour troops. We had way too many rules to follow all while we were losing our buddies everyday. I would give anything to have my Battle Buddy with me. Now days I get to visit his honor plaque at the Utah War Dog memorial.
“Don’t doubt your dog, whole heartedly agree!,,
"If it has a heartbeat, it's not equipment."
Thank you for your service K9
very emotional vid thanks for all that you people did and the love of your dogs you shared
Wow something no one thinks about! The dogs are heroes also! 💯
This is why I love the US military and other militaries that really appreciate everyone and everything that they work with.
God bless our soldiers and their canine companions as well as the war horses who do so much for our country.
Just hit me with the one picture @ 3:58. Having a combat dog would mean you would never be on your own, sleeping, using the restroom, always having someone watching your back that NEVER gets lazy and refuses to let go of a job until it is complete. That must make soldiers best friends and battle buddies if nothing else. I've heard interviews where men can talk about their best friends being blown up in front of them and not shedding a tear, but one combat dog and his soldier, and I've never seen a man hold a straight face.
They watch out for you when you shit even!
@@glenn6583 did you have one?
Powerful. I can’t own a dog anymore after losing my last two Danes, too emotional. I’m worse off but I can’t trust myself to lose another. 😊
Bless all them handlers and dogs incredible thank you for your service and fighting for the dogs to be recognized as the true heroes they are bless you all love and support from Liverpool UK 👏🙏❣️
Please keep up these videos they are gold 🙏🏻
No there hot
German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Dutch Shepherds (All Cousin breeds) are a godsend to the military and as protectors.
Finally a voice for all the military serving dogs - wonder when this series will hit the U.K. and what channels! Looking forward to it 😊😊😊
I cry thinking of everyone I have loved in my life and lost. But my Belgium Malinois? Be still my beating heart! RIP Ghost! I'll catch you on the flip side! He was so smart and loving and capable! One of the best friends I ever had! We always had one another's back!
Nobody seems to ask about the puppies who were in training to become war dogs. My mother worked in Germany for the British Army veterinary war dogs. The young puppies were first sent to foster homes until they reached 6 months or so. Then they returned to the army training center. Those that made the grade were incorporated in the army; those that didn't were deemed too dangerous to go to family homes (yes, I understand) and put down, not always in a humane way. I visited the center one day and saw a line of puppies hanging from trees (dead or dying). I understand the bond that soldiers have with their dogs, but hopefully those dogs that return from battle are given a decent retirement.....
Man’s best friend
I'm a non-military guy man but I have family at the military and Marines besides the men and women that go out there and risk their lives which is no doubt the one of the most notable things to do for mankind but those dogs man those creatures God bless all of them they're beyond special. Thank you program I love your program it's awesome I'm going to continue supporting.
They are the best comrade you have besides your team and weapons! I am wanting to save some of them and let them live out their short lives after wartime. Mans best friend for sure, with love
They do it for you… the ball or treat or that pat is just gravy to them❤❤❤
I sleep with my pup on couch every night. Not a veteran but I've Always had a true friend since I was lil shit. CHAR GIRL IS MY ROCK ! I'M IN TEARS
Outstanding video. Great job.
I want a dog like that
Awesome tribute to some Amazing canines!!🥰🐾👍🏾💯
Nearest and dearest friend. Salute ❤😀👍💯❤️
God bless you Veterans and k9 Veterans 😢 tuff as hell
As I watch this, tears keep coming
Inconditional love! Nothing more powerfull!
I know the feeling being a senior dog handler in the Army of the sadness when you leave your dog.
The dogs were more faithful then the current politicians in office.
Beautiful heroes ❤
Fully support our K9s, the K9 programs, and the professional handlers! #gamechangers
Wow. Thanks for sharing this story. Loved it.
This is very interesting and i would definitely like to know when this series?? This dog becomes a unit with his partner and his life should be greatly appreciated. He is a frontline partner. He goes in without hesitation in many situations. The German shepherd breed is definitely an amazing dog.
I have a gsd they are the best protectors and so smart with it it’s incredible, my gsd even gives warning barks if people raise their voice at me 😂
I just love ❤️ the German Shepherd breed
God Bless our Military Men, Women and our Military Dogs 🇺🇸
The War Dogs for Vietnam didn’t have any protection gear and it breaks my heart to hear they left them behind.
Everyone that fights for American Freedom and to protect our soldiers DOG need recognition as well.
What happens once our War Dogs come home? How many tours do the War Dogs do? Before they get retired?
I raise and train these dogs! We have shipped Malinios all over for these purposes. Hands down the best asset you can have in any engagement 🤙
