Question MOD Dogs, the sun's story

[Yorkshire Blue]

1. Sorry I should of explained we train them to attack us whilst wearing a full suit which means they will attack anywhere. Most of the patrol dogs are right arm true and will just bite the right arm.

2. Military personnel or those subject to service law.

3. Basically an explosive search dog can detect an ied in open ground so they have to be the best of the best. Vehicle search are good at searching a finding in vehicles but not so much in an open space. So an explosive search will help protect the troops out on patrol.

Thanks.

Are any other animals used other than horses for parading?

What's amazing is that this story made the front page of a national newspaper anyway. A sad reflection on Britain.

What's more amazing is that this thread has made it to 2 pages.

1. A suit dog? Is that an autocorrect from assault dog?

Nope.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Nope.

A button down collar? Urgh. That dog has no sense of style and may even be Septic.

Nope just the dogs and horses.

Good question, I have no idea you would have to google that one. Don't know who would of been responsible for their welfare etc either.

They put them out to seed in 1957.

Molesting a Pigeon?

How would you prove it was non consensual molestation? From what I hear all pigeons are game...
