Have you ever wanted to watch Military Working Dogs get ruff with an assailant?
Students from Salem Baptist Church got that chance during a guided tour on Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, March 6, 2019. The students got an up-close demonstration of some of the working dog’s capabilities as well as all of their questions answered by the staff. Volunteers even got the chance to wear some of the gear worn by the dog handlers. Let us know in the comments what you would like to see on a military base.
