Facts Concerning Contract Working Dogs

By Amy Taylor


History has it that the first animal that got the opportunity to be a mans companion was the dog. These animals have been given the priority of helping people even during wars. Military working dogs have been with the service men helping them restore peace. However, they have seemed to be few and since the defense department had information about contract working dogs the employed their services too.

It appears like majority of the people are not well informed about these contract canines. However, the history regarding their existence has it that they were opted to add up to the number of already existing military dogs. Some companies were ready to have them trained so that they can attain the standards of those helping in wars.

For the training to be effective to the extent that it matches of those in the military, there is much that these companies are expected to do. They need to be conversant with how to conduct rescues and even detection of explosives. More so, they need to be combative in nature. The moment a company attains this, they fly the animals to where they are needed.

It should be noted that the animal though working with the military, it is not the property of the defense department but that of the company where they belong. It is therefore not the role of the soldiers to take care of the dog in the event of a need beyond feeding. All that happens is that the dog will be in the field and into their kennels till the end of the contract.

They are never accorded the care and attention that they deserve making them experience great sufferings. To begin with, they are employed dogs which mean they are only supposed to be working all through till the mission is over. In other cases, they are usually not granted the short break enjoyed by the military dogs which some how meant to fully cover the payment made to hire them.

Once the animal cannot render services any longer due to either sickness, an injury while on duty or advanced age the suffering escalate. There will be no one in the war zone who will be there to take care of the dog. It lies upon the contracted company to ensure that their animals are always in their eyes where they can observe how they are progressing.

If the dog due to insufficient training ends up deserting their masters, they will face the same known punishment of facing a death squad something that may not be their fault. There are instances when the company will not want to deal with a dog that cannot be of help to them. These animals are left in their kennels dejected.

The only existing solution to this suffering is the adoptions allowed for these dogs by families as pets. More interesting is that the procedure of making a contract dog yours is less demanding than that of a military dog. The only matter of concern is ones ability to tame the dog into becoming a reliable pet. The war environment and the training make them fierce, aggressive and less friendly.
