Rebecca Frankel has a new slideshow on war dogs. Original one here. She captions the above photo:
[W]ar dogs are usually bred and trained by the military or private contractors. Most of them come from one place: Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas — otherwise known as the "dog mecca for all service branches." According to Airman Magazine, the Lackland program is tasked with the goal of producing "at least 100 puppies each fiscal year." Above, Rrisky, a Belgian Malinois puppy — just like the one rumored to have gone on the bin Laden mission — greets visitors at Lackland's kennels.
