as much as i hate the idea of bomb sniffing dogs id also like to point out that this is definitely a service/working dog and you should never randomly pet one without the consent of the owner

Which dogs can I pet without the consent of the owner?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

none dogs

Well that's just bullshit. I'm going to decide who to pet by myself then.

Why do you hate the idea?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If I had to guess, I'd say the objection is because sometimes bombs explode.

As an aspiring dog trainer and an overall dog person, every single time this wikipedia article comes around makes me want to grab a very large club and bludgeon the next sorry ass I see mistreating a dog in the slightest way.

In 2005, insurgents attempted to use a bomb-equipped dog during the Iraq War. The dog was detonated without inflicting damage.

Can someone give me an AliExpress link for this on a shirt?

Am I the only one who feels sorry for service dogs? They never get to be happy, or play, or get pets. I know the reasoning, but it’s heartbreaking.
