I love dogs, not only are they loving companions, they are helpful. We have seeing eye dogs, hearing dogs, seizure dogs, service dogs, police dogs, drug sniffing dogs, and bomb dogs. They are heros in my eyes.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) - Man's best friend? Maybe that should be a soldiers best friend as specially trained 'bomb dogs' are taking on bigger roles in security in this war-torn country.
"We've been using the dogs both here in camp to avoid any explosives getting on to the camp as well as we have them embedded in all of our Canadian companies out in the field," said Maj. Jeff Harvey, provost marshal for the Canadians in Afghanistan.
Now, what other animal is as helpful as those bomb dogs! So, to the 40 bomb dogs in Afghanistan, I salute you!
Yes, dogs are our true friends!! I remember the day when one of the dogs in our neighbourhood gave his life trying to save a kid..I really honor him for his brave act...n hey, you too can check out this post on Dog Training . I hope u'll like it.
