Not Just Humans….

We care for working dogs here, they hold rank, just like the rest of us, and they receive the same care we do. If needed, we will take them into the OR to provide any care we can. This was a particularly tragic situation, as the Marine handler and the dog were both the victim of an IED, the dog was the only one to survive. The blood on the ground is from our furry patient, the bandage over the muzzle is for injuries, not as a muzzle. Canines are used in many roles here, from security to sniffing out IEDs/bombs to keep the rest of the unit safe.
