Cooling Vest for Dogs
Help Send Cooling Vests to MWDs in Iraq
The military only provides the basics for Military Working Dogs (MWDs) stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan where temperatures can soar up to 145 degrees.  When the dogs are hot, they tire quickly and their ability to detect explosives and other dangers is greatly reduced.  Please help by making a donation below.

"These vests will be a great help to the MWDs in Iraq and Afghanistan. The vest allows the dogs to work longer with fewer rest cycles thus protecting more Soldiers. This cooling vest saves lives because our K-9s are able to work longer with less stress and are able to locate more IEDs.  Please thank your supporters for all of us."  - Senior MWD Program Manager, US Army

========================

"Please let everyone know that it is so great to have these vests.  There are still many dogs here without them."

======================
“Mom, I am and we (soldiers) are all right. It’s the dogs that are really in need. It is so hot that they are having trouble doing their job and that puts all of us in danger.” [temperatures range from 100 to 140 degrees] The few that are sent by the military are only sent with large deployment units of dogs and soldiers. In this instance, these dogs have been sent in a few at a time as the area has been found to contain many insurgents and they need the dogs help.
What do these military dogs do? Two of them are combat stress dogs in the field for the soldiers. Here in Dayton we would call this the work of Therapy Dogs. When a soldier is wounded or killed these dogs help the soldiers deal with the stress and emotions of their loss. The other 13 dogs search for bombs, search vehicles for anything that might cause harm, do search and rescue when bombs explode, and perhaps most important of all they are goodwill ambassadors. The Iraqi people, and children especially, are told the United States is bad and the soldiers are often hated. The dogs help to change that conception by greeting the children and giving the soldiers a chance to show we are there for their benefit. - A Helicopter Pilot stationed near Mozul

I AM A WORKING DOG

My eyes are your eyes,

 to watch you and to protect you and yours,

My ears are your ears,

to hear and detect evil minds in the dark,

My nose is your nose,

to scent the invader of your domain,

And so you may live,

My life is also yours.

~~Cicero

From Petey's Mom:
We are targeting soldiers who need our help the most.  A lot of people ask me why the military doesn't buy these vests for the dogs. When I have asked this question, I was told that the dogs that deploy with a large units are pretty well equipped, but that many, many dogs are assigned independent of a large unit and its budgetary support. These are the guys we are targeting - the guys who truly need our support.  I think that within a few years, the military will start buying these vests in bulk, but until then, this is the only way they will get the relief they need to better protect our treasures. - Petey's Mom

Cost of the vests:
Vests are $129 ea. and we like to send an extra set of packs that are $99 each.  That way, the soldier can have a freshly charged pack with him on missions that last more than 2-3 hours, keeping the dog safe from heat stress.
