Pretty special bond, and animal.Quote:
“During those eight days, I spend more time with my dog than I do with my wife or my children,” Stark said. “You rely on these dogs for everything. I rely on him to keep me alive and send me home at the end of the night.”
Am I missing something?

This is the reason proximity alerts are needed, in his book 'K-9 Trailing' by Jeff Schettler he goes through this.
The following story is from a dog trainer I had the honour of working with last month: 3 months ago an officer and k-9 were shot in the US by an armed fugitive. An individual shot his parents then fled on foot through the bush. He was pursued by officers on foot with a man trailing dog, the handler and dog moved at a faster pace than his support and lost them in pursuit. When the dog went right up to the fugitive, as it had been trained, the fugitive shot both handler and dog.
Sad. Grief is the price for loving.
Dogs in service have been saving lives since at least WW1.
I saw a special on dogs in Iraq/Afghanistan.
One dog died as it was leading the convoy sniffing for bombs. A terrorist threw a grenade over the wall at it. The enemy always hated bomb sniffing dogs as you can understand.

My BIL is a canine officer. The dog is amazing and has the most intelligent looking eyes that I've ever seen in a dog. At home he's a pet, a big softie but when the BIL comes out of the house with his uniform on he's a totally different dog. It's time to go to work for him. I hate to think of the grief in that house if anything ever happened to that dog.
