Uh, 'Doggles?'
For those of you who have problems keeping your dog from chasing
the neighbors cat or attacking the door every time the door bell
rings, think of the training chores that must be undertaken in
order to acclimate a canine to military air transport distractions
and hazards. From here at ANN HQ, where our resident canine/German
Shepherd/dog food disposal system, Anjin, has decided the "Stay"
command has a multiple choice response, this kind of training and
obedience is impressive. Are you getting the hint, Anjin?

Security Forces Group military working dog handler deployed from
Moody Air Force Base, GA. He is a native of Lancaster, Texas.
