body armour outfitted with high-tech equipment that included “doggles”- especially designed and fitted dog googles with night-vision and infrared capability that would even allow Cairo to see human heat forms right-through concrete walls...

Holy crap!

“...better for various parachute jumping...”

Bet he can’t pack his own ‘chute.

I’d love it if Cairo got to take a final whiz on Osama.

Not taking anything away from the dogs mentioned above, but IMHO they don’t have ANYTHING on the boar-hunting dogs I hunted with about three weeks ago in S Georgia.

There are two types of such dogs, the “bay dogs” and the “catch dogs”. We let the bay dogs run until they smell and eventually corner the hog, then the “catch dogs” are let loose. In our case there was a bulldog and a pit bill for the catch dogs. Both dogs were amazingly calm until they were let loose to go grab the ears of the hog.

I have hunted a good bit, been around dogs my whole life, but have NEVER seen such ferocity in an animal. The pit bill went from a fairly serene female to a manic bundle of hell on four legs, making a beeline for a mad-as-hell hog 10 times its size, and clamped down like a vise on the left ear and part of the face of the hog. The bulldog then dutifully ran up and clamped on the other side of the hogs face/ear. You have never heard such a racket.

The dogs had protective gear on, which made them look sort of like little warriors.

I saw this four times in one day and even the last time I about crapped in my pants.

I would pay good money to see those two dogs go after some Ben Laden wannabe.

Them dogs are like “circle flies” you can’t fool them.

" The bad news is there's a Belgian Malinois Special Forces trained dog after you"

"The worse news is, that after the dog is done chewing your sorry ass, the SEALS will be here"

[Roos_Girl]

Mals are some bad ass dogs. Their favorite thing to do is bite! The ones that have a different favorite thing to do are retired from the program.

[Jonty30]

You know, come to think of it, I haven’t heard anything about the First Dog either in a long time.

Poor thing must be just lonely in that kennel in Kansas.

“Belgian Malinois”

I’ve read a little about these dogs.

Any dog that is an upgrade over the magnificent German Shepherd deserves accolades.

Hope the dog got a piece of OBL before he departed.

[Spruce]

What a great post, RR. Thanks!

[Malone LaVeigh]

When you consider that Muslims generally regard dogs as unclean animals, the thought that one of the last things OBL saw was this dog in his house is a really amusing.

[RikaStrom]

This dog!

Ping.

Thanks Reaganite Republican.

...with a sense of smell 40x greater than a human's... are at least twice as fast as any human being... are even trained parachutists...

Try *that* with a goat, bin Losers.

[Oratam]

considering moslems have such a low opinion of dogs this is quite fitting . . . almost as good as having a highly trained pig, think Arnold Ziffel in uniform, first in the door at Osama’s lair.
