While animal rescue groups across the globe race to get dogs out of Afghanistan, Pentagon officials want to be very clear: The U.S. military did not leave any of its working dogs behind.
Viral photos purporting to show dogs locked in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport have raised the hackles of U.S. lawmakers and dog lovers alike. But the photos are not of military working dogs, as the American Humane Society and others have suggested.
“ “To correct erroneous reports, the U.S. military did not leave any dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, to include the reported ‘military working dogs.’ Photos circulating online were animals under the care of the Kabul Small Animal Rescue,” Kirby told Defense One.

Prove it.....WHERE ARE THEY???
If true, why did it take this long to get the message out?
Also, why hasn’t one American that got outta that hellhole been interviewed? Not even on fox, newsmax or OANN that I’ve seen...weird
Earlier report said that they were released onto the Afghan streets, not in cages, but left behind. Be careful of the “wordsmiths” .
Show the planes rolling onto the tarmac filled with the cages of service dogs then!
It took them this long to make up that story?.......................
Every single dog I saw in video was a German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois, don’t tell me they weren’t military dogs
OMG like we BELIEVE the DOD, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!
They were US military contractor dogs.
What about the families of those who were left behind? I’ve heard school children and chaperones are trapped in Afghanistan. Why are we hearing from the parents of these children?
Good if true.
Exactly. But after 4 years of lying about trump and even more in our face lying buy this administration why would ANYONE believe ANYTHING they tell us?
The lies that have been told about this afghanistan withdrawal have been UNBELIEVABLE. Lying by this so called president on TV have been proven lies not 10 min later by the MSM no less!
PMC dogs.
Two words
BOVINE SCAT
Technically yes. The dogs were contracted and used by military. They were left for someone else to save or die. This is a lie you omission.
Yeah, why stop lying now
They dogs that stayed behind wanted to stay. /s
The Pentagon is splitting hairs. The dogs were contracted working dogs, they weren’t military working dogs. That meant they didn’t have the protections offered to military working dogs, such as out ranking their handlers.
This is just an extension of the little trick to have “private” entities do what the Constitution prohibits the government from doing.
