hello, i've just watched Top Dogs just now, and regarding the issue you've brought up, things have at least began to change this time around. the US army kennel master does admit they used to euthanize the dogs which are not fit for duty or does not reach the standard required as canine soldier. but he mentioned that those dogs have life and they deserve to live. Hence, they have this adoption program where those dogs (the ones that are tested, and declared not-too-aggresive as a pet) are put up for adoption. but as for those other dogs that are too aggresive, god knows what will happen to them :/ still, it's at least better than having ALL of them put down to sleep right? some dogs are indeed put into danger to serve mankind. unlike other dogs, they does not have all the TLC from a normal family... play toys in a garden with kids and etc...they have to go through extensive training and work everyday. it might sound cruel but still it's all about different perspective from different people. erm, look at the bright side, some of the service dogs are actually strays dumped by people who thinks they're not good enough. the dogs certainly had a chance to proved them wrong :) regards, hunter
