Arms Are For Mauling
This is the final picture in the series, taken shortly before the dog ate the baby. OK, just kidding about that part. But I’m sure the thought crossed his mind.
No commentsCongressional Medal of Honour winner…
The K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at McChord. He’s huge – part Boxer and part British Bull Mastiff and tops the scales at 200 lbs. His handler took the picture. Brutus is running toward me because he knows I have some Milk Bone treats, so he’s slobbering away! I had to duck around a tree just before he got to me in case he couldn’t stop, but he did. Brutus won the Congressional Medal of Honor last year from his tour in Iraq. His handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents. Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal that meant ‘go away but come back and find me’. The Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus. He came back later and quietly tore the throat out of one guard at one door and another guard at another door. He then jumped against one of the doors repeatedly (the guys were being held in an old warehouse) until it opened. He went in and untied his handler and they all escaped. He’s the first K9 to receive this honor. If he knows you’re ok, he’s a big old lug and wants to sit in your lap. Enjoys the company of cats.
Imagine him kicking down your dog is you are a terrorist.
Update: There is some debate about the veracity of the above story.
No commentsPuppy breed pics
If you are interested in getting a new dog or just like puppy pictures then this site will make you go all weak at the knees. The puppy pictures section allows you to find pictures of your favourite or desired breed so you can get an idea of what they look like when they are really little. So you can get all soppy about yer favourite breed even before you get a puppy. Needless to say this lot go to me a bit.
Overambition? Dog style
We were all rather shocked, including her mistress, to see wee Jolie arrive on the porch with Vera’s predecessor Stella’s rawhide bone. To say watching her run around with it was amusing on this autumn day is an understatement. She doesn’t seem to realise or care she is so small. She wanted to chew that bone so she did.
Another friend of the family put on her most pathetic look for the camera.
Then again if you are talking overachieving; check this Dachsund’s digging prowess. It wanted a bone and dug up a Mammouth of a bone.
