“Seventy-pound Labrador retrievers take up half the bed.”
Posted on | September 3, 2009 | No Comments
I cracked up when I read that in this story today about military working dogs at Joint Base Balad in Iraq:
“MWDs ‘out of the doghouse’ at JBB”
U.S. Army Specialist Chris Belville, 25th Infantry Division dog handler, spends time with his canine, Cookie, in his living quarters here Aug. 28.
It doesn’t surprise me – I know enough handlers to know how they are about their dogs, and the stories over the years about them sleeping with the dogs, usually under hostile conditions in the field, are legion.
But there’s just something about the image of a big Lab out there taking over a bed just like they do everywhere.
Not that that would ever happen around here, of course.
