Pentagon said thise dogs are under care of a local group abd are not military wirking dogs
They’re contract dogs, handled by contractors, not military K9. IMO the Pentagon statement was disingenuous.
That just means that they are ‘contractor’ working dogs, there is no difference.
I have an ex-Marine friend who spent some time over there as a contractor. He is a professional trainer of top tier working dogs, up to and including ones for the Seal teams. His dogs would be contractor working dogs not military working dogs. No difference, they’re just playing word games with everyone.
