Military Dogs -- American ThinkerMilitary dogs serve their country and are in the fight to defeat the enemy. Author Susan Orlean in her latest book, RIN TIN TIN, commented that the military dogs work as soldiers, and that the American public has a special relationship with them. American Thinker was given a glimpse into what a valuable asset military dogs are to America's war effort through interviews of those who work closely with them.
