jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I was amazed and astounded to learn that Navy Seals train dogs to jump out of airplanes. It's just incredible to me. My son was in the 82nd Airborne. And I'm still in awe of that. But I totally marvel that they have dogs parachuting. WOW!!!

Perhaps they jump with a human who does that for them? _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

Dogs have such devotion; some of us humans could learn a lesson here! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Anne, I didn't see the actual training methods; these are really smart dogs, so perhaps they can pull the cord themselves? Don't know. But I couldn't believe the amount of bravery that sort of thing would demonstrate. By gosh, by golly!!! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

How sweet that is to think those two species would love each other! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	After all the news coverage of O'Sama being killed they showed the Seal dogs on TV, and one in particular that was with the Seals during their mission. They then showed some of the dogs being trained, and said all are trained in Europe and born there as well. The dogs jumping from the planes were teathered to their handler and he pulled the rip cord but it was amazing that the dog seemed eager to jump. Gorgeous German Shepards... Jabber, I was shocked to see the love displayed by both the cat and dolphins for one another, and this was the first time they had met. I love the video! _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Animals are so amazing it's mind boggling. You'd think the dogs wouldn't want to jump out of an airplane, no matter how it was done; I'd have to be pushed. And those dolphins coming to the surface to see that cat was truly awesome. How fascinating that is!!! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
