 | | Earlier this month, however, Putney and other dog lovers applauded as President Clinton signed a bill allowing military dogs to be adopted at the end of their "useful working" lives by former handlers and others qualified to care for them safely and humanely. |
 | | Dogs are currently deployed with U.S. peacekeeping forces in Kosovo--the closest thing we have to a war zone right now--where they work in security, VIP protection, crowd control and bomb detection. |
