    Thought I would share with the board.

    The K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at McChord. He's huge - part Boxer and part
    British Bull Mastiff and tops the scales at 200 lbs. His handler took the picture..
    Brutus is running toward me because he knows I have some Milk Bone treats, so
    he's slobbering away! I had to duck around a tree just before he got to me in case

    he couldn't stop, but he did. Brutus won the Congressional Medal of Honor last
    year from his tour in Iraq . His handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage
    by insurgents.. Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he
    gave Brutus the signal that meant 'go away but come back and find me'. The
    Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus. He came back later and quietly took out one
    guard at one door and another guard at another door. He then jumped against
    one of the doors repeatedly (the guys were being held in an old warehouse) until
    it opened. He went in and untied his handler and they all escaped. He's the first
    K9 to receive this honor. If he knows you're ok, he's a big old lug and wants to sit in

    your lap. Enjoys the company of cats.

    Thought you'd find this interesting. Talk about animal intelligence and bonding
    with humans!
