Anybody hear of this?

The Military Channel just this weekend ran a show about the Pacific theater and the dogs that went with our troops into the jungles. Very good show (unlike most of the Military Channel -- am I crazy or has the quality of their shows dropped like a brick in the last couple years??).

They intereviewed a bunch of the old vets. Fascinating to hear all the the stuff other than their intended purpose of spoiling ambushes. Marines said they could finally sleep at night because they knew the dog would alert them if the Japanese were sneaking up. Other units would always invite the dog handlers to take a free already-dug foxhole, give them cigarettes, etc. Really good show. All Dobermanns and German Shepherd dogs in the footage.
