Top Rank Dog

My brother took some cool pics while he was at his friend's Military Graduation in S.C. He told me that this dog in the pic walking with the man (you cant really see him though) is Top rank in there in the military.

I just thought it was really cool that a DOG is top rank! And i still wonder WHY people can hate dogs.:confused:

The Marine Mascot is a bulldog and has the rank of Staff Seargent. I have pictures of him from when my son graduated from boot camp but I don't have anywhere to post them.
