Military Working Dog Love

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, here are some of our favorite photos to showcase the connection, respect and love between dog and dog handler.  Some of these are older, but still great photos.

The Airmen are getting the MWD acclimated to walking long distances and still performing their duties, before they are deployed downrange. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Perry Aston)
