- Throughout history, dogs have accompanied man at work and play. Even during wartime, dogs functioned as mascots and trained in a variety of jobs to protect and save lives on battlefields throughout the world.
In this series, we focus on the roles dogs performed during times of war in support of our ground troops. From WWI when dogs served as mascots in the trenches of France to WWII when they were highly trained to perform jobs a soldier could not do that protected our troops from harm and helped to defeat the enemy. You will hear the stories from veteran war dog handlers of the Korean War and the Vietnam War about the roles their heroic dogs played to save their lives and the lives of others under extreme combat conditions.
With the global war on terror, military working dogs continue to be an invaluable lifesaving asset serving with our special operations community.
Since WWII, Military Working Dogs have consistently played a vital role in times of peace and war, oftentimes paying the ultimate price for their service and sacrifice.
This is The War Dog’s Story - giving a voice to the voiceless.

My moms cousin was in Vietnam and was a helicopter pilot . Would pick up wounded soldiers. He had an awesome Germany shepherd named Dutch. Dutch knew commands in German. He was out on a mission and a VC threw a handgrenade in to the helicopter. Dutch sniffed it out and tossed out of the helicopter. He and Dutch came home together and he was able to keep Dutch till his passing. These dogs do a vauled service and are heroes.
Bless you Dutch
💯❤
Thank you for your mom's cousin service in Vietnam and Dutch and Dutch's Soldier. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their service.

They should allow retired military dogs to be adopted by retired soldiers first and the general public who have the skill and ability to provide the right homes for them.
Many do go home with their handler to retire in the UK
Without question or hesitation.
They want the handlers or someone that knows how to raise the dogs. These dogs are work dogs they can become aggressive if not enough exercise etc..
@joyjeffcoat8711 they work to live and live for one master in their lifetime. That's what makes them as unique as their talented handlers. You cannot bottle trust and bond.
How can the military call them equipment? They are soldiers.
No doubt
I was a licensed veterinary nurse at a specialty practice in California near one of the Naval bases. The saddest thing I remember was to watch a female MP bring her MP dog into us; our internal medicine specialist found cancer. To watch her try to keep her composure was difficult, because as the Navy paid for the visit, they would not pay to treat. She stayed at the hospital with her dog until she was ready to say goodbye. They allowed her that much. It still tore her apart.
I watched a show on Robby’s law signed by Clinton..it’s crazy that these brothers ( the dogs ) were left behind and I’m glad now the handlers have first choice to take their retiring dogs home to love them till the day they pass
Next to salvation through Jesus, the dog is God's greatest gift to humans.
Dog spelled backwards is God (thinker)
@@rolandoledesma7548 You are 💯
I have a working line GSD who has saved my life and I would die for her. Never leave a fallen comrade. Army values. The govt doesn't understand that these dogs not only have a heartbeat, they have souls. You'll never change my mind.
They tried to bring the dogs with them and were threatened by gun point by pilots. It broke their hearts.
@@avoiceinthewilderness9864 yeah, they don't understand or don't care & shame on our government for adding to the trauma of our service members!
@avoiceinthewilderness9864 😥😢😭😭😭😭😭
absolutely.....doesnt help their PTSD.....our upper eschelon military is getting colder and colder!!!😠
@@WandaRichardson-m2r Camp Ripley in Minnesota is building a huge museum/ facility and I think they have plans to include a war dog memorial.
I hope that when all soldiers pass through the pearly gates that the first thing to greet them is their lost loved ones standing behind the dogs who saved their lives. That they are met with that sweet excited fur missile who just wants to be told "good girl/boy! Here's your ball and I have countless hugs saved up for you."
We hope so too!
That's my old dog Bowie at 2 minutes 53 seconds in the video. It was 16 December 2007 objective fritz 53 he had to swim a irrigation ditch to get that bite 2:53
Good boy
Wow....😮❤
This breaks my heart more than anything this would devastate me i couldn't do this job of dog handling i admire these men and thay is so traumatic having to leave them behind.
Why did the governments wanted to leave the dogs behind? they wouldn't take up much space on the plane home! and they are not equipments! 😪
You trained the soldiers, you trained the K9s as warriors, and yet they are still issued like a pair of boots? Shame.
this BS seriously needs to be updated! ?>>>:(
During the Korean and Vietnam wars, the dogs were left behind. After that, things got better with our military and how the working dogs were treated, but there is still more to be done. We hope our documentary series sheds light on what happened in the past and what can happen now to make things right.
I understand that they are now ranked one level higher than their handler.
but is it still no healthcare?...and it seems that the answer to that is ''yes". @@donnawindsor3431
And knowing that Vietnam is a hell for dogs it was cruel for the military brass to leave them behind. Vietnamese are known to eat dogs and vietcongs were the closest to demons
This dogs are super heros. They deserve the best love and care
My Dad was in the Korean War for over two years, I wish he had one of those dog's with him at that time. He eventually got wounded on Triangle Hill. God bless all those service dogs for saving so many lives we are forever grateful for you 🙏🇺🇸
Rest in peace with Great Honor and respect K9s soldiers. Thank you for all you have done and given. You are missed and still loved.
I'm sure I've commented on this before, but we don't deserve dogs.
Knowing dogs got LEFT BEHIND makes my blood BOIL.
HOW HEARTLESS can our government be?
Wait... Dumb question 🤬
Bush did this to all of our dogs in Iraq for the first 5 years!
@@WoundedWarrior2012
Unacceptable!!!!
I don't understand peoples comments blaming soldiers who were not allowed to bring the dogs during evacuation. We can blame that on Washington D.C. it was a hell of a thing to put already demoralized soldiers through.
No one blames the handler's,we blame goverments and their policies,to absndon the dogs. We can see and imagine that the handler's were heartbroken,from that.
Bring the dogs home. They protected our guys.... We have to protect them... It will change lives.....
Was AirTraffic Controller at K-8 in 1963-64. A K-9 guarded the tower during night time hours. During the cold winter invited the handler and his K-9 in the tower to get warm and have coffee. K-9 could not climb ladder into cab but was comfortable in the level below the cab while his handler sat with us. One night, at shift change, I walked out the door at the base of the tower to have the K-9 lung in front of me, his handler holding an extended leach. I stopped dead in my tracks totally surprised. The dog had grabbed a large rat that was in front of me and killed it. Amazing how he saw it in the dark.
Never give up keep fighting the good fight thank you for your service both you and your dog
They are real heros the greatest thing a veteran could have the really saved lives they are not property they are living souls
War dogs should be the same as police dogs.....police dogs are officers, war dogs should be soldiers because they are! Not equipment! Frankly as an American my government and the beurocrats disgust me! Our soldiers are also just equipment and it is all wrong!
what idiotic ''regulation" / ''decision maker" decided to leave them behind? 🤬🤬🤬
They were classified as equipment by the US military, so our military dogs were left behind along with the jeeps and trucks and other equipment. Definitely not a high point in our military's history.
that does not answer the question tho...which reg was it? and is it 100% dead now?@@HighProofMedia
Yes I totally agree with you what a horrible decision by the government to leave these beautiful dog's that saved our soldier's lives behind over there. Truly unbelievable to me. May God bless their souls we are forever grateful for all of them 🙏🐕
Heart breaking story
For many months, we have worked on trying to get a major network to pick up the War Dog’s Story documentary. While the initial feedback on our trailer was great, none of the networks wanted to tackle the subject. From the feedback that we received, the feelings were the same - there was no interest in war stories or the dogs in them. We decided to move forward without the help of the major networks in order to get the War Dog’s Story completed. And so we are now excited to announce our official crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo to honor these stories, and the dogs and people in them.
Much of the film, and 39 interviews, have been shot already. With the funds we secure, we will be completing the last of the interviews that are needed. How many episodes will go into the series ultimately depends on how much we’re able to raise with the crowdfunding campaign. Once the edit is complete, we’ll be submitting the documentary series to a distributor who we have worked with previously. Other shows that we have produced have streamed on platforms like Amazon Prime, Tubi, and many other services in the past so we’re extremely confident that The War Dog’s Story will end up on numerous streaming platforms as well.
Please help us spread the word to everyone you know about our crowdfunding campaign. Every like, share and contribution will help us cross the finish line. People can donate to the project via the IndieGoGo page or directly on the War Dog’s Story web site, and we also have PayPal and Venmo options for contributing as well. From the start, these stories that are being told are what matter the most to us and we can really use your help in letting everyone know about the campaign and the film itself. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you,

Sharing, near and dear to me, thank you for your efforts!
Not one lie told in this documentary!
Very well done! Please continue sharing what happened to these Amazing Dogs/Soldiers! They should have NEVER been left behind!!! I will find a way to help you out soon! Keep up the great work and the good fight! 🇺🇸
We would rather die before our dogs and that's a fact!
Just watched a very sad documentary on hbo called war dog a soldiers best friend and it was a very emotional watch. I got on UA-cam to look up some more info and documentaries like it and I came across this. I am very excited to see this and hear the interviews, I’ll be watching for the release! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to making this film. It’s sad that the other networks had no interest in spreading these stories. 😢
George Bush did this in Iraq! We had to fight in Congress to get that rule changed. Now we bring our dogs home!
I love these dogs
God bless all those dogs and soldiers men and women God bless them all
Holy crap, this is hard to watch. Every K9 should go to their handler. The bond is THEIRS.
Seeing all the heartfelt ❤ comments on these amazing cannines , i can only add 1 thing here i.e. May their souls, along with their handlers hav a blissful life in Heaven now. They certainly deserve to be there. 🙏❤️Amen.
Imagine an airplane hanger full of dog crates, each containing a dog trained for military service. Now imagine a senile president expediting the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and our soldiers having to walk away leave all those dogs behind for the Taliban. My bad, you dont have to imagine it. It actually happened.
Huh Talk To Me Hali
Benno ‘In to the Breach’. My complete hero. ❤
MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ONLY
~12 min... im very confused...why would they leave em there? Did they jus have 2 wait til da very end, like they're last ones out? Or they jus abandoned em out in middle of jungle 2 now fend for themselves??
If das case, i find it a lil hard 2 believe! During my son's deployment, he's a medic but their base was 1 of 2 in whole country for their unit...so he learned lots of additional duties(veterinary, labs, flight-evac, etc). Told me one time dog came in from some skin rash thingy & he was treated like gold. Said puppers are very revered & high dollar asset. Like nobody allowed 2 mess around when it came 2 illness or injury.
I cant imagine being told 2 leave my dog. My titan tarted getting sick 11 months ago, it was quick, very unexpected, & devastating...tore me up when i had 2 put him down. In my head i killed him & was fucked up for several months. I still miss him dearly, talk 2 him often, & touch his box on regular basis. For ppl w/out children, their pets are jus as important as if they were kids. They are totally dependent on us, love us no matter how good/bad our day is, sometimes wont even leave ur side.
That must have completely been da ultimate suckiness level of suckivity for these men & women being made 2 walk away! I am sorry for each of u & pray u were able 2 work thru ur grief & loss of an amazingly awesome bff
Tôi những muốn trải qua bao khó khăn người huấn luyện và chó được cùng nhau nghi hưu sống cùng nhau trong cảnh thành bình đến cuối đời.mot đặc ân tuyệt vời.❤
😊is there a. Full documentary on this I keep trying to find, but cant find anywhere????
If anyone knows plz point me in the right direction ty
Both ,soldiers and dog veterans are true heroes ashame they still viewed as equipment
So heartbreaking picture leaving your best friend behind Jesus proper warriors
NO DOG, ever should be treated as equipment, ever. It is bad enough human's send them into war, they must be cared for after their deployment
Beautiful stories! Terrible that the government left them behind. Shame Shame.
I can't understand our corrupt government making soldiers leave the canine soldiers behind, especially in Vietnam!
What I see when I watch and listen to all these people paint their picture of the nature of dog use in the military, which no one wants to admit, but it needs to be said, is that these dogs are cannon fodder at the very root of their duties. Which is not to say they do nothing else- certainly they have countless values to soldiers. But we essentially show how much we value them by sending them in to die in situations where wed have sent humans. That is literally the definition of expendable.
And the sad thing is that no one can ask the dog if it wants to get trained to possibly go and die in place of a human. We take advantage of the natural cooperating behaviour of a dog to train it to do what we want. But from the dogs point of view, its cooperating and doing what we want because its instincts tell it that cooperating is best for the survival of all parties involved. And the dog doesn’t know we are tricking it into thinking that, but the bottom line is that we will throw its life away in a heartbeat if it meant saving a human.
And that brings us to the fact that most people believe that humans are more important than animals. Well, from a human perspective that may be selfishly the case but as far as nature is concerned, humans don’t mean one thing more than any other creature in the universe. We’re all just different.
I have a lit of respect for soldiers. My grandfather lost a leg in WWII, in the Canadian contingent. I respect and venerate his sacrifice. I’ll tell you I would have the most respect for a soldier who gave his life to save his dog than I would otherwise. We might think humans are more valuable than dogs or other animals, but that doesn’t mean that we are not sadly mistaken in that view.
The day we can ask a dog whether or not it wants to be our cannon fodder, and it say “yes”, is the day Ill support dogs in the military. And if a soldier is not willing to die when they go to war, that’s totally cool. Just don’t join the army. Be a plumber, or an office worker.
Thank you for this- and all your dedication to getting in front of the masses!
I think these dogs deserve to have 100% veterinarian care and these dogs should also get help to be located to their forever home. I think there needs to be changes to the canines who are involved in the military to receive some benefits. I have a question ❓ are most of these canines rehabilitated and they go out to homes? To their forever homes or are these canines euthanized I'm sure the dogs are given medals but they also need 100% care available to them as they are retired . to live out the rest of their life's healthy and well taken care of😊
I think I will cry
I’m tired of the human species treating other species on this planet as less than. We do not deserve their love and loyalty.
I've spent such a Loooong time Trying to find this where can I watch the FULL LENGTH FILM/SERIES ??
As soon as we complete filming the documentary series, we will be posting an update here on UA-cam. Right now, our goal is to finish filming the last interviews we need and then start the editing process.
Thanks be to God for the protection and companionship of His workmanship provided through these dogs and animals altogether. May their lives be blessed and watched over, as they, as well as, all family pets live to provide for us their dedication, service, sacrifice, and Unconditional Love. May they be treated with our love, respect, and consideration 🙏❤️☮️✨️
Sleeve looks awesome “Mac”!!! Just watched his first video with Benno😩
D O G Spelled backwards. G O D !❤
Hero's and the best good boys
I remember one particular dog, named Rocky, who was a Security Forces Dog. Rocky was very intelligent. He worked with his handler during 12-hour shifts and other crazy hours. I met him over 20 years ago when TDY. I have never forgotten him.
Omg did they put dogs down when they abandoned in the war😢😮
I can tell you our soldiers had to leave at least 1 airplane hanger full of military-trained dogs sitting in their crates when the Biden administration expedited our withdrawal from Afghanistan. Part of the 86 Billion worth of assets abandoned and gifted to the Taliban. Im guessing many of the dogs most likely ended up feeding people who were starving under the new management.
Where can I watch the whole thing
We are in the midst of completing the documentary. Once the series is finished, we will be announcing where it can be watched. In the meantime, the project can be supported here: igg.me/at/thewardogsstory
@@HighProofMediaok. I’m looking forward to it!
HELLO, PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏 honor ,help, this Hero's 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕.....they all risc their Life for you, some more if they are old and need's your help too!!!!!! If they are a SENIOR DOGGIES!!!!!!! That's my Wish 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for all these which save our Life's for free just because they loves You/us. GREETINGS FROM GERMANY A SENIOR DOGGY 14.5 Years old 🐾🐾
My fiancé made it home, though he was never fully recovered and eventually succumbed to his injuries. But he grieved , not so much for fallen comrades. I guess they were able to find a place to put that horror. He grieved because the units dog went down with him and did not survive. He didn’t have a place to put that.
I love the comment “We didn’t see Them as equipment because They had a heartbeat “. Amen I say!!!
salute
I am so ANGRY right now with our Military leadership and whoever makes the decision to abandon these loyal animal's! I do not even want the people who would do such a thing in our Military!
I wish they wouldnt refer them to equipment or “issue” because they are living organisms, with feelings and loyalty, they ask for nothing except that you are pleased with their work, please people, treat these dogs with respect give them a proper retirement
Any living breathing animal (2 legged or four legged, they are soldiers. To leave them behind iwas and still is, is cruel. 😢

Yes i am understand...
When and where can we watch the full documentary?
Very good questions. We are completing the documentary series now, filming the last interviews we wanted to secure. As it stands, we have 39 interviews completed. Once we film the remaining ones, our editors will take over and get the series cut into episodes. We will be submitting the series to our distributor and from there we will know which streaming platforms will offer the series. We know it will be streaming on MakeReady.TV, but we wish to have it on as many streaming platforms as we can get on board.
😥❤️🇫🇮🤫
Sounds like they were a useful disposable part of the war. It breaks my heart that they were left behind yet kinda understand. I hope they weren’t just abandoned but taken care of by someone in that country.
Thank you for your services, both human & dogs 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
any updates?? Of course they are owed health care! 😤
We just launched a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo in order to raise the funds to complete filming and editing of the series. You can find the page for the campaign here: igg.me/at/thewardogsstory
OH, wait I had an idea. Sorry, almost forgot... Can you somehow partner this with prosthetics? I have some cool ideas for that. The prosthetics field has had some recent breakthroughs for doggy ones which I think could be useful for military dogs too. The last website I visited was talking about amputated limbs and injured limbs. It's private sector, but that's fine right? It doesn't necesarily need to be a military contractor.... or does it? would it need to be a military contractor in order for military dogs to have access? @@HighProofMedia
pokey, poke! ... Prosthetics stuff? :)@@HighProofMedia
I understand the use of the risk the sacrifice as a soldier who goes for infantry m.o.s , The dog is doing what it has been taught trained to do. It doesn't know the death or risk factors. A human does when you say I want to be a door kicker. I want to be on the front line. I want to be there, Bravo 18. You get my point. That's your choice as a dog doesn't have a choice. You want to be a Billy bad prove? To everybody, including yourself.How big your balls are.How tough you are you go through that fucking door knowing there's a Person with a gon the other side of that dog is gonna do it to make you happy because that's what it was trained and taugit doesn't understand death
Narr I Disagree
Yes, and you murdered a lot of dogs after the Vietnam War instead of bringing them home didn’t you?
They literally say that in the video. Also, who are you talking to? you think the people who are actually bringing more awareness to military K-9's in this video have anything to do with that? Unfortunately many dogs get euthanized after combat because they are to aggressive to be placed in a home with civilians and they have nowhere to go, but that's part of what this video is shining a light onto so not sure what your point is other than wanting to point fingers at people for an issue you know nothing about.
@@eliasvaldes82 So you’re saying this, so how come sometimes the canines can be rehomed with their handlers??
@@sarapiper385 man, English is my second language and even I can write a sentence more coherent than what you just wrote. Try again and see if this time anyone other than yourself is able to decipher what you are trying to say.
@@eliasvaldes82 in Vietnam war, the dogs they took over. They all were destroyed because they said they were too aggressive to rehome and they still say that now but that’s not the truth. Is it a lot of ex-military dogs can be rehomed and they do a lot of the time there X handlers have them is that more English for you? Twat
That's the point of this video
I would have stayed behind first before I left my partner behind. They are no different than the brother fighting next to you, and they will not leave you behind. Our military was and is run by idiots. The only reason they are changing is the dog's partners have brought this to the attention of the public and said ENOUGH!
why leave ur dogs who protected u w/ his life?
shame,shame shame on you 😮💨 🥲
Not the soldiers fault, we can Blame this on the bastards in Washington D.C.
🇺🇸🫡. Hell yes! Those dogs are priceless when it comes to actual K9 work, and handlers know that best! 🇺🇸🫡
