Australian War Dogs

Canine troops have served alongside Australia's armed forces for nearly one hundred years. Valued for their loyalty, intelligence and devotion in battle, war dogs have patrolled borders, searched for wounded, detected landmines and explosives, controlled crowds, relayed messages and laid telephone wires. In 'Australian War Dogs', Nigel Allsopp, author of 'Cry Havoc: The History of War Dog's, explores the role military dogs have played throughout our history and what contributions they could make in the future.
