I'm not totally buying this, either. I realize that supplies may be tight over there, but as others said, I find it hard to believe that the Iraqi police or the coalition soldiers would deny them food! And as a dog owner, healthy dogs don't need commercial dog food to survive, no matter what heart-rending TV commercials sell you about your Best Friend. I cook basic, easy stuff for my dogs quite often, as well as giving them kibble.

Dogs need a diet that consists of 40 percent meat, 30 percent vegetables and 30 percent starch for a well-balanced diet.

A simple mixture of (cooked) ground turkey, rice and carrots is cheap, easy and healthy. Ground beef, brown rice, brewer's yeast and carrots are also popular with my dogs.

And I'm not a nut. I'm just into being cheap and healthy and not buying processed "junque foods" for my family or my pets. (Except for crunchy Cheetos; we have a weakness for THE most processed, least nutritious, neon orange foodstuff on the planet, LOL!)

Guys and gals... read the story, yes, we treat our working dogs with care and an understanding of their value. No, I do not think there is a chance the military would not provide for the care and feeding of our own working animals. These animals were clearly described not once bu twice, as dogs belonging to the fledgling Iraqi police forces.

She said 12 German shepherds and one black Labrador retriever trained for bomb-detection and attack at the Iraqi Police Academy in Baghdad have been eating table scraps and garbage...

She probably slept through instruction of supply proceedures. Wonder how her unit get more ammo and/or MREs.

"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-Journal.

What is this? I agree, looks like the paper has been had. If true, then it's clobbering time for someone.

I can't believe we have dogs starving that are working to save our soldiers lives. The caretakers of the dogs should be reprimanded if it's true.

They can be fed RAW chicken parts with bones. Or for that matter any raw bird or small animal.

Now before you go nuts on me ask yourself .. what did K-9s eat before commercial dog food came out in the 50s? For thousands of years and did just fine.

They just announced http://www.lvvhumane.org on the radio as a contact point. Apparently Cook is working with that humane society.
