~ War Dogs — A brief history of dogs in military work.

~ A Special Tribute to Veteran Dogs of War and Service Dogs around the World

~ The War Dog Memorial — When U.S. Marines landed war dogs on Bougainville in the South Pacific, 01 November, 1943, it marked the first use of trained military dogs in combat by the United States. Doberman Pinschers, the official U.S. Marine Corps War Dogs, served throughout the South Pacific, courageously leading patrols in the steaming jungles, giving timely warning of the enemy waiting in ambush or hiding in caves, saving untold lives.
