Help send a care package to our
military working dogs in Afghanistan
Sergeant Denny is a two year old German Shepherd stationed in Afghanistan
and trained to detect explosives. His handler is a Monmouth County native whose
name cannot be released for security reasons.
Much is made of the bond among soldiers, but the union between soldier and dog
in a combat zone is just as tight. Handlers and canines patrol together, day
after day, linked by a leash and an innate understanding of each other. These
animals are brave soldiers working alongside their handlers. Together, they
face the same dangers. Military dogs in Afghanistan die as a result of attacks,
heat exhaustion and other causes.
Often the role of the military dog goes unrecognized. While their basic needs
are met, a care package sends a message that both dog and handler are
remembered for their bravery by those of us back home.
