| Forum Health Inspector | As bad as I would love to see her adopt the dog, I'm on the Air Force's side on this one -- they spent the money training him, they should be able to use him until he's past his useful age. Sucks, but hey -- this is the military after all.

| Nuclear Duck Hunter ![]() | The MP dog handlers on the NIKE sites were very attached to their dogs because of the amount of time spent together. I remember when one dog had to be euthanised and his handler refused to ever train another dog and changed his MOS. |

| Master Gunner | I certainly understand the LT's point, however, I'm going to disagree. The Air Force has said it would allow her the dog and according to the article only the Federal law is the hold up. The Air Force seems to feel that the sacrifice this brave woman made (and nearly made the supreme sacrifice) merits having her dog. I think the President might be persuaded to sign off on this one. I hope he does. |

| Nuclear Duck Hunter ![]() | I think that if she got the dog, her recovery would be quicker so, in the long run the Government may balance out the cost of a longer recovery with the cost of training the dog. Besides, the dog would have to be shipped to a training facility to be teamed with a trainer which is time consuming and expensive for a dog that only has five years of service left. |
