The world froze, awaiting the outcome of hostilities in a number of countries. Someone watches news stories with empathy, someone, on the contrary, tries not to notice other people's problems. Meanwhile, not only people, but also specially trained dogs find themselves on the battlefield. And their fate is the same as that of a number of soldiers: wounds, shell shock, death. Our article is devoted to just such four-legged fighters who risk their lives for the sake of someone else's victory.
The photo report includes pictures of dogs taken in Afghanistan during the fighting. Each dog has a specific task: one is trained to look for mines; the other is to pull out wounded soldiers from the battlefield; the third is to determine by smell where drugs are hidden. Many of the four-legged were unlucky in this war. But, we must admit that specially trained dogs are treated no worse than people. Therefore, some of them, having grown stronger, return to the battlefield with renewed vigor.
By the way, if you look closely, you will notice: the gaze of the soldier dogs differs significantly from the gaze of the peaceful dogs who while away their days on the mat by the door. The four-legged military's eyes become more meaningful and sad. To be convinced of this, just compare the photos in this article with the pictures from the calendar.
