Parachuting Special Forces Dogs

Forget Russia's precision flying walrus team and Brazil's razor wielding greased monkey squadron, Britain has high altitude parachuting German Shepherds. The SAS (special air service regiment) has been training the dogs to make jumps as high as 25,000ft. Fitted with their own oxygen supply and strapped to special forces assault teams, the Shepherds will be sent out with tiny cameras fixed to their heads, to find insurgent hideouts. The cameras will send back live pictures to the troops, showing enemy locations and warning of ambushes. An SAS source told The SUN: "The dogs will be exposed to very high levels of danger on these operations and you never know what's going to be behind a door. Nobody wants to see the dogs get killed but if it's their life or a man's it is obvious which the CO would prefer."

Life's a bitch.

I can just hear that dog saying "I keep telling them. The gun needs NINE barrels. Cats have nine lives. But do they listen....."

It's a fake!

Look at the original article picture: it's a fake. Being added to the para (man) : straps and dog, being added to the dog: mask. Good photoshoping, I didn't spot it at first glance.
