What, Iraqi dogs don't eat ?

It should not matter where they came from, they are working
members of the U.S. forces and they give their all protecting
human lives. I agree with this Vet's statement.


Henderson Veterinarian Terry Muratore estimated that each of the 13 working dogs would consume a 40 pounds or more of dry food per month.

"If securing the country entails having security dogs that are healthy, then we should do that," Muratore said. "Surely there's space on a C-130 to get a pallet of dog food over there."

I may be wrong, but I thought you said that the dogs were SENT there.

My point is that any dogs that are attached to a military unit are cared for BETTER than the soldiers... The US gov't. WOULD NEVER send trained dogs to an area without support. They are WAY TOO VALUABLE to let them go hungry.

My point was not about the food.

My point was that these are dogs from the area and there is no infrastructure to support them in their jobs.

I think you may have assumed that GWB, in all his evil persona, sent those dogs over to Iraq.
