It's considerably different than those that served in Viet Nam. The handler's concern was the same, even the vet's and vet techs care was the same. Their retirement sucked though. I'm really glad that has changed. DFrost Any behavior that is reinforced is more likely to occur again.

After all the dogs are out there putting it all on the line, and deserve the best we can give them. I hear of more and more dogs getting to live out their retirement inside, maybe even lounging on a couch

Bartlett (R-6th District, MD) was the one who created the law and pushed it through.  Quote: ... Until Nov. 6, 2000, the United States had no organized policy of finding homes for war dogs at the end of their useful working life, but that would change after Congressman Roscoe G. Bartlett (R-6th District, MD) introduced H.R. 5314 on behalf of "military working dog number W005", more familiarly known as "Robby." ... http://dogsinthenews.com/issues/0202/articles/020227a.htm http://www.militaryworkingdog.com/news/ http://www.scoutdogpages.com/content/robby.htm
