Who has the doggie ping list?
This is unbelieveable!
I saw a show on Discovery/History/?? about the dogs US troops had to leave behind in Vietnam. sad
If there is problem getting dog food get with the vet officer of your higher authority.
Trained dogs are worth more than a trained MP, I know.
This officer is crying woe are my dogs cause she obviously couldn't hit the floor with her hat.
How the hell did this happen? Why don`t they take the food from the mutts at guantanamo and put that food to real use?

Before we get too excited here...there's no way the US would not provide for it's own dogs. These must be Iraqi forces.
"In life, the firmest friend,
The first to welcome,
foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master's own,
Who labors, fights, lives,
breathes for him alone."

I find it hard to believe the military sends them over there but doesn't plan to feed them?!? Surely that isn't true. Why isn't the military taking care of the dog food problem?
Any way to stick some dog food in the care packages?
People food.
Actually that's two words. Okay, two words.
Tasty people food.
Damn, that's three words.
Okay, okay, I've got it this time. Three words:
Lots of tasty people food.
Damn.
What about feeding starving dogs people food...like table scraps, half-eaten MREs, or whatever else gets tossed away?
My dad used to feed my dog soft-boiled eggs, bacon, and even coffee on an almost daily basis...that dog lived over 17 years.
BTTT.
Some died, some sick?
Have these been deaths by starvation?
The article says they are eating people food to supplement whatever dog food they have...
This soldier needs to clarify herself and/or we need additional information to understand what is happening here.
If she has pointed out such gross negligence than someone needs to get an ass kicking.

"The dogs are starving and urgently need dry dog food," Capt. Gabriella Cook, commander of the Las Vegas-based 313th Military Police Detachment, said in a Dec. 28 e-mail reported Wednesday by the Las Vegas Review-JournalThe Vegas Review-Journal is getting one pulled over on them.
Anyone check to see if there is a "Capt. Gabriella Cook, commander of the Las Vegas-based 313th Military Police Detachment" yet??
Either this dogs are too picky to be really useful, or someone is blowing smoke up our skirt.
Dying from starvation? Right. I have yet to meet a dog that won't eat what I eat. Zuit, most of the time, just watching him try, I'd say he would rather!
Something smells here, and it ain't our military dogs. The commander that supposedly reported this would simply place a call and the problem would be corrected in days. Who's kidding who? The very nature of this unit would dictate that medicines, foods, dietary aids for dogs, would be a part of the standard issue to this unit since it uses military police dogs. The dog trainers would have screamed to high heavens the day if was found that an adequate on hand supply of dog food was not on hand. Tis that simple.
How about feeding the dogs regular food?
Mine eats what we eat....meat, rice, veggies.
