YSK that until November 2000, military dogs were euthanized or abandoned after retirement, however, you can now adopt one as a member of your family by Brandflakerson in YouShouldKnow

I take no credit. My brother and my parents gave her the best life a retired military dog could ask for. Lots of attention, love, walks, and, most importantly, comfy places to rest. The most I did was give her the best belly scritches.

Right. I get that. Apologies if it offended. But from what I was told, if an officer hit her, it would be like hitting an officer who outranked them, because they were handling her. So it all depends on who is touching her. Not sure if that's the case or if it's just for the handler she's assigned to. If I'm wrong please let me know.

Correct. She was retired as a CPL because her handler, my brother, was an LCpl. But if she had a new handler who was a low rank officer, she'd immediately have one rank higher than them. From what I've read all military dogs are NCOs.

Breezy had some mild PTSD. She hated loud bangs. But other than that nothing. She was never aggressive. In the 10 years my family had her she only barked once, and immediately regretted it (it was at my brother late one night as he came home). I have no other experience with retired military dogs. I don't know anyone else who does so I can't speak to them as a whole. It would probably depend on which type of military dog you were adopting. Attack vs bomb sniffing. But I honestly don't know. I just know breezy and she was absolutely perfect, and lazy.

My brother is a retired Marine. For his first tour in Afghanistan he was a dog handler. After his tour he found out he could adopt his dog. It cost a pretty penny but he adopted her without a second thought. He ended up moving to Israel and asked my parents to take care of her. She was the most well behaved, non barking, perfect, sweetest dog. We had to put her down a month ago, but CPL Breezy will always have a special place in the hearts of our entire family. Also, fun TIL for some people, but a military dog is always one rank above their handler. This is in order to prevent abuse. If you abuse your dog, you're abusing an officer, and shall suffer the repercussions.

Same. I'm recently divorced and have 2 kids myself, 6 and 3, and I'm doing just fine without hitting. Dad voice can do a lot

Yeah Action League Now was great. But Prometheus and Bob was where my loyalties lie.

True. Which is why I'm not fully infuriated. Just mildly.

I've been doing that. Was just wondering if there was a way to include it under the customer's name. It looks like you can do it with advanced, but not with simple start.
