The War Dog's Story: Giving a Voice to the Voiceless [extended trailer 3]
Throughout history, dogs have accompanied man at work and play. Even during wartime, dogs functioned as mascots and trained in a variety of jobs to protect and save lives on battlefields throughout the world.
In this series, we focus on the roles dogs performed during times of war in support of our ground troops. From WWI when dogs served as mascots in the trenches of France to WWII when they were highly trained to perform jobs a soldier could not do that protected our troops from harm and helped to defeat the enemy. You will hear the stories from veteran war dog handlers of the Korean War and the Vietnam War about the roles their heroic dogs played to save their lives and the lives of others under extreme combat conditions.
With the global war on terror, military working dogs continue to be an invaluable lifesaving asset serving with our special operations community.
Since WWII, Military Working Dogs have consistently played a vital role in times of peace and war, oftentimes paying the ultimate price for their service and sacrifice.
This is The War Dog’s Story - giving a voice to the voiceless.

They are real heros the greatest thing a veteran could have the really saved lives they are not property they are living souls
I hope that when all soldiers pass through the pearly gates that the first thing to greet them is their lost loved ones standing behind the dogs who saved their lives. That they are met with that sweet excited fur missile who just wants to be told "good girl/boy! Here's your ball and I have countless hugs saved up for you."
We hope so too!
That's my old dog Bowie at 2 minutes 53 seconds in the video. It was 16 December 2007 objective fritz 53 he had to swim a irrigation ditch to get that bite 2:53
Good boy
Was AirTraffic Controller at K-8 in 1963-64. A K-9 guarded the tower during night time hours. During the cold winter invited the handler and his K-9 in the tower to get warm and have coffee. K-9 could not climb ladder into cab but was comfortable in the level below the cab while his handler sat with us. One night, at shift change, I walked out the door at the base of the tower to have the K-9 lung in front of me, his handler holding an extended leach. I stopped dead in my tracks totally surprised. The dog had grabbed a large rat that was in front of me and killed it. Amazing how he saw it in the dark.
I have a working line GSD who has saved my life and I would die for her. Never leave a fallen comrade. Army values. The govt doesn't understand that these dogs not only have a heartbeat, they have souls. You'll never change my mind.
They tried to bring the dogs with them and were threatened by gun point by pilots. It broke their hearts.
@@avoiceinthewilderness9864 yeah, they don't understand or don't care & shame on our government for adding to the trauma of our service members!
My Dad was in the Korean War for over two years, I wish he had one of those dog's with him at that time. He eventually got wounded on Triangle Hill. God bless all those service dogs for saving so many lives we are forever grateful for you 🙏🇺🇸
Rest in peace with Great Honor and respect K9s soldiers. Thank you for all you have done and given. You are missed and still loved.
Benno ‘In to the Breach’. My complete hero. ❤
We would rather die before our dogs and that's a fact!
This breaks my heart more than anything this would devastate me i couldn't do this job of dog handling i admire these men and thay is so traumatic having to leave them behind.
For many months, we have worked on trying to get a major network to pick up the War Dog’s Story documentary. While the initial feedback on our trailer was great, none of the networks wanted to tackle the subject. From the feedback that we received, the feelings were the same - there was no interest in war stories or the dogs in them. We decided to move forward without the help of the major networks in order to get the War Dog’s Story completed. And so we are now excited to announce our official crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo to honor these stories, and the dogs and people in them. Much of the film, and 39 interviews, have been shot already. With the funds we secure, we will be completing the last of the interviews that are needed. How many episodes will go into the series ultimately depends on how much we’re able to raise with the crowdfunding campaign. Once the edit is complete, we’ll be submitting the documentary series to a distributor who we have worked with previously. Other shows that we have produced have streamed on platforms like Amazon Prime, Tubi, and many other services in the past so we’re extremely confident that The War Dog’s Story will end up on numerous streaming platforms as well. Please help us spread the word to everyone you know about our crowdfunding campaign. Every like, share and contribution will help us cross the finish line. People can donate to the project via the IndieGoGo page or directly on the War Dog’s Story web site, and we also have PayPal and Venmo options for contributing as well. From the start, these stories that are being told are what matter the most to us and we can really use your help in letting everyone know about the campaign and the film itself. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sharing, near and dear to me, thank you for your efforts!
Not one lie told in this documentary!
I'm sure I've commented on this before, but we don't deserve dogs. Knowing dogs got LEFT BEHIND makes my blood BOIL. HOW HEARTLESS can our government be? Wait... Dumb question 🤬
Bush did this to all of our dogs in Iraq for the first 5 years!
You trained the soldiers, you trained the K9s as warriors, and yet they are still issued like a pair of boots? Shame.
this BS seriously needs to be updated! ?>>>:(
During the Korean and Vietnam wars, the dogs were left behind. After that, things got better with our military and how the working dogs were treated, but there is still more to be done. We hope our documentary series sheds light on what happened in the past and what can happen now to make things right.
I understand that they are now ranked one level higher than their handler.
but is it still no healthcare?...and it seems that the answer to that is ''yes". @@donnawindsor3431
And knowing that Vietnam is a hell for dogs it was cruel for the military brass to leave them behind. Vietnamese are known to eat dogs and vietcongs were the closest to demons
Hero's and the best good boys
Just watched a very sad documentary on hbo called war dog a soldiers best friend and it was a very emotional watch. I got on KZhead to look up some more info and documentaries like it and I came across this. I am very excited to see this and hear the interviews, I’ll be watching for the release! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to making this film. It’s sad that the other networks had no interest in spreading these stories. 😢
George Bush did this in Iraq! We had to fight in Congress to get that rule changed. Now we bring our dogs home!
salute
Sounds like they were a useful disposable part of the war. It breaks my heart that they were left behind yet kinda understand. I hope they weren’t just abandoned but taken care of by someone in that country. Thank you for your services, both human & dogs 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Sleeve looks awesome “Mac”!!! Just watched his first video with Benno😩
11:50: you just know this poor pooch has to hear about the great Willy everytime he doesn’t do as he’s told
They should allow retired military dogs to be adopted by retired soldiers first and the general public who have the skill and ability to provide the right homes for them.
❤❤❤

I've spent such a Loooong time Trying to find this where can I watch the FULL LENGTH FILM/SERIES ??
As soon as we complete filming the documentary series, we will be posting an update here on KZhead. Right now, our goal is to finish filming the last interviews we need and then start the editing process.
Thank you for this- and all your dedication to getting in front of the masses!
Yes i am understand...
How can the military call them equipment? They are soldiers.
I don't understand peoples comments blaming soldiers who were not allowed to bring the dogs during evacuation. We can blame that on Washington D.C. it was a hell of a thing to put already demoralized soldiers through.
✌️😍🐶🐶😻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Between here and God's ear it me. #GoArch #DoOrDie
When and where can we watch the full documentary?
Very good questions. We are completing the documentary series now, filming the last interviews we wanted to secure. As it stands, we have 39 interviews completed. Once we film the remaining ones, our editors will take over and get the series cut into episodes. We will be submitting the series to our distributor and from there we will know which streaming platforms will offer the series. We know it will be streaming on MakeReady.TV, but we wish to have it on as many streaming platforms as we can get on board.
😥
Where can I watch the whole thing
We are in the midst of completing the documentary. Once the series is finished, we will be announcing where it can be watched. In the meantime, the project can be supported here: igg.me/at/thewardogsstory
@@HighProofMediaok. I’m looking forward to it!
any updates?? Of course they are owed health care! 😤
We just launched a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo in order to raise the funds to complete filming and editing of the series. You can find the page for the campaign here: igg.me/at/thewardogsstory
OH, wait I had an idea. Sorry, almost forgot... Can you somehow partner this with prosthetics? I have some cool ideas for that. The prosthetics field has had some recent breakthroughs for doggy ones which I think could be useful for military dogs too. The last website I visited was talking about amputated limbs and injured limbs. It's private sector, but that's fine right? It doesn't necesarily need to be a military contractor.... or does it? would it need to be a military contractor in order for military dogs to have access? @@HighProofMedia
pokey, poke! ... Prosthetics stuff? :)@@HighProofMedia
😥❤️🇫🇮🤫
,.... 👍❤️🇫🇮🤫
I can't understand our corrupt government making soldiers leave the canine soldiers behind, especially in Vietnam!
War dogs should be the same as police dogs.....police dogs are officers, war dogs should be soldiers because they are! Not equipment! Frankly as an American my government and the beurocrats disgust me! Our soldiers are also just equipment and it is all wrong!
what idiotic ''regulation" / ''decision maker" decided to leave them behind? 🤬🤬🤬
They were classified as equipment by the US military, so our military dogs were left behind along with the jeeps and trucks and other equipment. Definitely not a high point in our military's history.
that does not answer the question tho...which reg was it? and is it 100% dead now?@@HighProofMedia
Yes I totally agree with you what a horrible decision by the government to leave these beautiful dog's that saved our soldier's lives behind over there. Truly unbelievable to me. May God bless their souls we are forever grateful for all of them 🙏🐕
Yes, and you murdered a lot of dogs after the Vietnam War instead of bringing them home didn’t you?
They literally say that in the video. Also, who are you talking to? you think the people who are actually bringing more awareness to military K-9's in this video have anything to do with that? Unfortunately many dogs get euthanized after combat because they are to aggressive to be placed in a home with civilians and they have nowhere to go, but that's part of what this video is shining a light onto so not sure what your point is other than wanting to point fingers at people for an issue you know nothing about.
@@eliasvaldes82 So you’re saying this, so how come sometimes the canines can be rehomed with their handlers??
@@sarapiper385 man, English is my second language and even I can write a sentence more coherent than what you just wrote. Try again and see if this time anyone other than yourself is able to decipher what you are trying to say.
@@eliasvaldes82 in Vietnam war, the dogs they took over. They all were destroyed because they said they were too aggressive to rehome and they still say that now but that’s not the truth. Is it a lot of ex-military dogs can be rehomed and they do a lot of the time there X handlers have them is that more English for you? Twat
That's the point of this video
why leave ur dogs who protected u w/ his life? shame,shame shame on you 😮💨 🥲
Not the soldiers fault, we can Blame this on the bastards in Washington D.C.
