Brethren, I guess you can tell I am a dog person. That came after 30. Before that I was a cat person. Anyway, thanks to Rebecca Frankel, of Foreign Policy Magazine, “The dog that started it all has been identified -- or so we think. The canine member of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 that took down Osama bin Laden -- a Belgian Malinois who answers to the name of Cairo. The above picture captures an exemplar of the breed.
I also want to turn your attention to two photo-essays by Rebecca Frankel, War Dog and War Dog II. You’ll be amazed what military dogs can do, and the extent to which the military services go to care for them.
