Jordan, Egypt faulted for deaths of US-trained dogs

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bomb-detection dogs sent by the United States to Jordan and Egypt got sick and in some cases died because of improper care, according to a State Department report released Friday.

The State Department Office of Inspector General recommended that two U.S. agencies stop sending the specially trained dogs to the two countries until they have plans in place to make sure they are taken care of and monitored to ensure their well-being.

The State Department has sent more than 200 dogs to various countries overseas to help prevent terrorism over the past 20 years.

It makes sense that we'd send dogs overseas but 200? That's a lot. Hopefully, most are kept safe and are well-cared for.

We do a lot of good things, we don't hear about.

Should we really expect these dogs to be well-taken-care-of in muslim countries...?

Nope....Let them train their own.

Jordan and Egypt are but two countries, they may have done poor here but I'll bet some go to Saudi Arabia and other such countries.
