Morning News, Friday, May 25, 2007<BR><BR>Remembering war dogs<BR><BR>Monument
heralds important work canines did in past<BR>conflicts<BR><BR>By<BR>Carma
Wadley<BR>Deseret Morning News<BR><BR>Some 4,000 dogs served in the Vietnam War.
Their work<BR>was directly responsible for saving an estimated<BR>10,000
American lives. Yet their story is a largely<BR>forgotten part of the
war.<BR><BR>Image<BR>Veterinarian Alan Cunningham sits beside the memorial<BR>to
war dogs at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park.<BR><BR>Michael Brandy, Deseret
Morning News<BR><BR>American Fork veterinarian Alan Cunningham is one
of<BR>those who is hoping to change all that. Cunningham<BR>recently erected a
memorial to war dogs and their<BR>handlers at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park
near Camp<BR>Williams.<BR><BR>"A few years ago, I read about the war dogs and
was<BR>both impressed and saddened by their story," he says.<BR>"Fewer than 200
of them ever returned home. Some<BR>325 died in the line of duty, while
another<BR>approximately 600 succumbed to tropical disease. But<BR>at the end of
the war, the rest were considered<BR>military<BR>equipment and were either
euthanized or left behind.<BR>They deserve to be remembered."<BR><BR>The
memorial is one of only a handful of such<BR>monuments around the country, most
of which are on<BR>military bases. "This is the first one to be placed at<BR>a
veterans cemetery, but I think it is a fitting place<BR>for it," says
Cunningham.<BR><BR>It is a simple monument, with a bronze dog sitting on<BR>a
sandstone slab. Cunningham purposely did not want to<BR>show the dog in halter.
"I wanted it to be<BR>a dog, not to be working." Because, he says,
as<BR>important as the work was that the dogs did, when they<BR>were not
working, they offered companionship and<BR>love that were also important to the
soldiers.<BR><BR>The monument was installed in April, without ceremony<BR>or
dedication. "I just wanted it to be a quiet, humble<BR>thing," says Cunningham,
"but I hope, with<BR>Memorial Day coming up, some people will want to
come<BR>visit it."<BR><BR>He pretty much footed the cost of the
memorial<BR>himself. "I tried to get donations, but not many<BR>people were
interested. I did get some from the Bank<BR>of<BR>American Fork. But I decided I
could just work more<BR>and get the money myself."<BR><BR>That speaks to why the
memorial is important and<BR>needed, he says: Too many people don't realize
what<BR>war dogs have done. "When I tell people about the war<BR>dogs, some are
amazed, but some say, 'So what?' But<BR>you think that if those other 10,000
soldiers had died<BR>in Vietnam, maybe one of them would have been<BR>a person
that has had an impact on your life, or my<BR>life, directly or
indirectly."<BR><BR>Image<BR>A soldier in Vietnam relaxes in the demilitarized
zone<BR>with his tracker dog.<BR><BR>Deseret Morning News archives<BR><BR>There
is now a push to have a national memorial to war<BR>dogs placed in Washington,
D.C. Increased interest in<BR>the story of the war dogs has grown out of<BR>a
1999 documentary, which first aired on the Discovery<BR>Channel but has aired
worldwide since, says Mo<BR>Johnson, who works with the War Dog Memorial
Fund,<BR>which is raising money for the effort. The film tells<BR>"the
heart-wrenching story of the bond between the<BR>dogs and their handlers and the
great lengths<BR>they look to save one another from the tragedies of<BR>war,"
she says. (The documentary is free with a<BR>donation of $10 or more to the
fund. For more<BR>information,<BR>visit<BR>www.war-dogs.<WBR>com.)<BR><BR>"I
believe the dogs should be recognized. Their<BR>stories are stories of love.
I've met many of the<BR>handlers, and they all say that if it wasn't for
their<BR>dogs, they wouldn't be here today," she said, in a<BR>telephone
interview from their California<BR>headquarters.<BR><BR>There is also a push to
have the dogs honored on a<BR>commemorative postage stamp. Two requests have
been<BR>denied, but a third one is going on now. "It's pretty<BR>sad that
cartoon dogs can have a stamp, but we can't<BR>get one for real-life service
dogs," said Johnson.<BR><BR>Decades later, handlers who served in Vietnam
still<BR>break down and cry as they tell of their dogs'<BR>heroics, says
Cunningham. "The courageous canine<BR>soldiers<BR>worked for food, water and the
love and companionship<BR>of their handlers. They never gave up on
the<BR>battlefield.<WBR>"<BR><BR>Dogs were used extensively in Vietnam, but that
is not<BR>the only time they have been called into action.<BR>They've been used
for centuries, says Cunningham,<BR>and certainly in every modern war, including
the<BR>current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.<BR><BR>Military Working Dogs,
as they were called then, were<BR>used in World War I but became increasingly
important<BR>in World War II. Shortly after the attack on<BR>Pearl Harbor, the
American Kennel Club and a new group<BR>calling itself Dogs for Defense appealed
to dog owners<BR>across the country to donate quality animals<BR>to the
Quartermaster Corps.<BR><BR>Image<BR>A weary GI and his pup take a break from
the horrors<BR>of Vietnam.<BR><BR>Deseret Morning News archives<BR><BR>Starting
in March 1942, the Quartermaster Corps<BR>handled the Army's so-called K-9 Corps
and undertook<BR>the necessary training.<BR><BR>By 1945, they had trained
approximately 10,000 war<BR>dogs for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard.<BR>Fifteen war dog platoons served overseas in World<BR>War II; seven in
Europe and eight in the Pacific.<BR><BR>In 1951, responsibility for the dogs was
shifted to<BR>the Military Police Corps, as they continued to serve<BR>in
conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and<BR>other military
operations.<BR><BR>The most commonly used dog breeds were German<BR>shepherds
and Doberman pinschers. Later on, Labradors<BR>began to replace the
Doberman.<BR><BR>These dogs were able to detect the presence of the<BR>enemy at
distances up to 1,000 yards — long before the<BR>soldiers could see them. When a
scout dog detected<BR>the enemy, it would stiffen its body, raise
its<BR>hackles, prick its ears and hold its tail rigid.<BR><BR>"They could
detect the wind blowing over a trip wire<BR>or smell underwater saboteurs," says
Cunningham. There<BR>are also documented cases of dogs lying on
their<BR>handlers to protect them and of dragging wounded<BR>soldiers to
safety.<BR><BR>"They were so effective in Vietnam that the Viet Cong<BR>placed a
bounty of $20,000 on the heads of dogs and<BR>their handlers," he
says.<BR><BR>In recent years, the military has changed its policy<BR>on the
dogs. They are no longer considered<BR>"equipment," and when their tour of duty
is done, they<BR>are<BR>brought back. "They may be assigned to help
with<BR>rehabilitation,<WBR>" says Cunningham. "They are very<BR>effective at
that, as well."<BR><BR>War dogs, he says, "have been forgotten
service<BR>animals. They often get overlooked. But like Seeing<BR>Eye dogs and
police dogs, they all have such
an<BR>important<BR>place."<BR><BR>Image<BR>Michael Brandy, Deseret Morning
News<BR><BR>His memorial honors them all, he says. "I hope one day<BR>I can look
back and say I left something good on the<BR>face of the Earth. I hope that
here, at least,<BR>these dogs will be immortal."<BR><BR>E-mail:<BR><A
