Lest We Forget The War Dogs

There is more to this, please visit the website and read the whole story, it captures how we feel as K9 handlers. The war is different today but the feelings and the bond is the same.

Lest We Forget The War Dogs

Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you

War Dog

I remembered our nights on patrol in the inky darkness of the monsoon nights, when the moon would not appear for weeks. I remembered the torrential rains and the times I would allow King to seek shelter under my poncho. I remembered the C-ration meals we shared together, while others were able to sleep or go to the mess area for hot meals.
