Not all heroes walk on two legs, some walk on all four. They are four-legged heroes that have saved many lives at the expense of their own life. There were dogs who were brought in to sniff out explosives who also help soldiers cope with the monstrosity of war.
Accurately trained dogs can smell IEDs (a bomb) and lead soldiers to it before it goes off saving the lives of many soldiers.
The first 30 dog teams were sent into Iraq in the spring of 2004, a year after the war began. Rex (the dog)who was a sergeant and Dowling was partners at Camp Pendleton. Rex was an expert in sniffing out bombs. The two were very welcome.
On the route that Mike and Rex took was like looking down into the jaws of hell. They were perfectly in turned to each other, no words were needed. Rex knew what he was supposed to do and he did it well.
When Mike gave Rex an order, he would say "seek" seek" To Rex it was kind of game, but he knew the seriousness of his mission.
