The 4,000 dogs that served with our men in Vietnam in every service branch are Americas unsung heroes.

Heroes yes, but our own government left most of them behind to an unknown fate.

Download or read book Paper Dog written by John Kubisz and published by ELM Grove Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper is a scout dog with the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles". Gravely wounded in a Viet Cong ambush, his leg has been badly shattered by a high caliber bullet. After being carried for 48 hours before receiving treatment, his wound is now badly infected. But Paper is a very special scout dog who has saved countless lives...Everyone has given upon Paper, except for his handler, Tom Hewitt. Then Tom finds Dr. John Kubisz of the 764th Medical Detachment. Doc Kubisz agrees to see if there's anything he can do. If Paper's leg cannot be saved, he will be euthanized. Even if it can be saved, unless he regains its full strength, he will still be euthanized...And if Paper recovers, he and Tom will be sent back to the front line... An estimated 3,800 dogs were deployed as scouts by the United States Army during the Vietnam War. "Paper Dog" is the amazing story of one of those dogs, and the incredible bond he develops with two very remarkable men; his handler and best friend Tom Hewitt, and Army veterinarian, Dr. John Kubisz. Together with his exceptional team of medical misfits at the 764th Medical Detachment known as the "Dirty Half Dozen," Dr. Kubisz goes to extraordinary lengths, not just to save Paper's life, but to rebuild his bullet-shattered leg - just so that he and Hewitt can return to the front line. "Paper Dog" is an emotional journey, of courage and devotion, human and canine, laced with more than a little caustic humor and disdain for the military hierarchy. John Kubisz clearly has much in common with Hawkeye Pierce of M*A*S*H - his veterinary skills matched only by his sense of humor and his ability to avoid disciplinary action from his superiors!
Book Synopsis The Contributions of the American Military Working Dog in Vietnam by : U. S. U.S. Military
Download or read book The Contributions of the American Military Working Dog in Vietnam written by U. S. U.S. Military and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-04 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the contributions of the military working dogs in Vietnam to determine their significance to the United States' war effort. There is limited written history concerning the use of the military working dogs in Vietnam. The methods and procedures employed in this study data relied extensively on personal military after action reports and histories (written and oral) to compile a historical account of the military working dog in Vietnam. The study found that when correctly employed, these animals made significant contributions to the United States' war effort in terms of the saving of lives and in the protection of military resources. However, these contributions could not be quantified; therefore, assumptions were made as to the effectiveness of the animals. Despite their effectiveness, the scout, tracker, and mine/tunnel dog programs were disbanded at the conclusion of the Vietnam War. This practice of disbanding military working dog programs at the conclusion of conflict is one that has been practiced since World War II. Each subsequent war has necessitated the rebuilding of military working dog programs. Today, only the sentry dogs are still active, having been joined by the relatively new narcotic detection dogs. Future conflicts may necessitate rebuilding the scout, tracker, and mine/tunnel dog programs.

Download or read book Silent Voices written by and published by Agreka. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago I read, with great interest, and sadness, the story of the war dogs of Vietnam. Although they were responsible for saving the lives of many American soldiers, they were forgotten by our government at the end of the war, and cast aside as nothing more than equipment. I vowed to herald the silent voices of these courageous and forgotten animal heroes through education and the promotion of memorials and commemorative postage stamps. Mine is but a small voice, yet a voice, for the thousands of service animals that have sacrificed their lives, in silence, for our freedom during times of war. These are the silent voices that must be heard. Many people have asked me if I have personally interviewed war dog handlers. The answer is yes. But they were too disheartened to revive the tragic events of their canine companions. So in respect to them I use the stories that others have been fortunate enough to hear. And I share them with those that have chosen to remain silent. May America listen. . . Throughout history, and during every modern war, soldiers have served as dog handlers. The bond created between dog and man became a relationship and memorable experience like no other. In the course of the Vietnam War an estimated ten thousand American potential casualties (or seventeen per cent of the total fifty-eight thousand American fatalities) were prevented as a result of the four thousand canine soldiers. Only two hundred sixty-one dog handlers were killed in action. In many instances the dogs prevented soldiers from triggering a booby trap or stepping on a land mine. They also alerted their handlers to hidden enemy soldiers as far as a thousand yards away. The canine warriorsdetected underwater saboteurs by the smell of their breath from the reeds they used as snorkels. Some dogs even covered their handlers with their own bodies to protect them from gunfire and shrapnel, while losing their own lives in return. Former dog handler, Charlie Cargo, tells of the day his dog Wolf, a German Shepherd, refused to allow him to proceed any further up the trail. "I looked straight ahead and not more than two feet away was a trip wire. I would have died right there if he hadn't found the wire." The amazing stories of canines saving American soldiers in Vietnam goes on and on. From 1960 to 1975 Vietnam became one of the longest and most unpopular wars ever fought by the American armed forces. Unfortunately many of our heroic soldiers returned home abandoned and unrecognized. And much like their human counterparts, many of the Vietnam canine veterans also received a different kind of homecoming. Fewer than two hundred of the four thousand canine soldiers were returned home. Of the tens of thousands of missions logged by the four thousand American war dogs in Vietnam, some three hundred twenty-five died in the line of duty, while approximately six hundred succumbed to tropical disease. The team was so effective that the Viet Cong offered a bounty for dead dogs or their handlers. What happened to the remaining seventy-two percent of these heroic dogs?

Download or read book Canine Warrior written by John C. Burnam and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Burnam served two combat tours in the Vietnam War (1966 1968), first as a US Army infantryman and then as a German shepherd scout-dog handler. John quickly learned the incredible advantages of having a dog to detect the sight, sound, and scent of hidden dangers. The dog was far superior to even the most experienced combat soldier at alerting on distant enemy noises and movement, finding hidden enemy caches of ammunition and supplies, searching base camps, and locating camouflaged tunnel entrances. The scout dogs' early silent warning of ambushes and booby traps saved countless lives.

Book excerpt: For Paul Morgan, the military always seemed like a viable option. At 19, after two years of college and ROTC, he enlisted in the Army and became a Green Beret. In 1965, he found himself in war-torn Vietnam as an advisor to Vietnamese airborne and ranger units. Morgan traded a .38-caliber pistol and a set of sterling rosary beads to a French priest for a German shepard named Suzie -- a dog that would not only save his life, but also ignite a passion for working with dogs. Back in the states, these K-9 soldiers would prove to be just as life saving back home as they had been in combat.
