 This National Guard Service Dog Is Unlike Any Other
Military.com | 2 Sep 2017 | by Amy Bushatz

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- In the high-stress world of Alaska's Air National Guard rescue squadron "PJs," who respond to emergencies around the state and deploy overseas, it can be hard to deal with the mental tolls that come with the job.

But one member of the pararescue unit is a trained expert in knowing when someone on the team needs extra help, and he's believed to be the first of his kind in the U.S. military.

The article says TOML is worth $45,000. I think he is priceless as are all of our furry buddies.
Principles matter. Words matter.

This is such a great idea.

This is unusual.

You don't usually see a dog bonding, or working with on an equal basis, 10 or more members of an extended family.
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.
