Wounded Sergeant Fights for a 'Best Friend'
They had trained together for three years in the military and were deployed overseas side by side. In June, they arrived in Iraq, where they worked as a team scouring houses and villages for hidden explosives. Then, one afternoon, riding back from a mission, a roadside bomb went off under their Humvee.Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jamie Dana was critically injured -- bleeding internally, her lungs collapsed, her spine fractured, her pelvis broken. In her last moment of consciousness, she asked in desperation about her comrade. "Where's Rex?" she pleaded. When no one answered, she grabbed a medic's arm. "Where's my dog? Is he dead?"

I was a member of the Security Forces for 5 years in the Air Force. Although I was not a dog handler, I saw the dedication of our Military Working Dogs first hand. There service can not be understated.
They are true servants of humanity. they sniff out drugs, bad guys and bombs and they only want love as a reward.
If you ever get a chance check out a MWD demo and you will see how special these dogs are.
