Today's an important day to honor our veterans! More specifically, the K9 ones! March 13th is #k9 Veterans Day ?? ?? Here's some interesting information from the American Kennel Club website on the history of dogs in the US Military: "The states had an unofficial canine war force in World War I, but military dogs did not become officially recognized until March 13, 1942, when a private organization, Dogs for Defense was established to recruit the public’s dogs for the U.S. military’s War Dog Program, known as the K-9 Corps." "Dogs’ sense of smell is roughly 50 times better than ours, meaning they can sniff out IEDs before they detonate and injure or kill U.S. servicemen in the prolonged Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. Ground patrols are able to uncover only 50 percent of these, but with dogs, the?detection rate?increases to 80 percent, claims the Defense Department."
