Dogs have capabilities human beings do not, and as well as being the best "tool" for the job, provide the added benefit of companionship and an unconditionally loving, nonjudgemental presence as well. These are working dogs, trained for this purpose. I, for one, would more readily trust a dog to alert me to a bomb than a machine that costs millions, is difficult to transport and maintain, and can get clogged with dust or simply malfunction.
And in an emergency, I'd rather trust a dog to find me beneath the rubble or lost in the woods than a person with a flashlight and an inferior sniffer and poor-by-comparison hearing.
I am glad they are being cared for when they get injured, they are veterans as much as the people are.
