Luxurious armored dogpods for the military sniffer dogs
We’ve seen luxurious kennels for dogs, some of which sport a six figure price tag. But these shelters are for those pets who just laze and do nothing most of the time. So don’t you think that the dogs that are employed for special jobs deserve a better space too? DailyMail reports that military sniffer dogs in Afghanistan will receive armor-plated kennels. Fitted with air-conditioner and lights, this dogpod will be built-in the six-wheeled Wolfhound tactical support vehicle. After all we do owe some luxury as well as security for the animals that sniff out bombs and save human lives. Till now, dogs would be out in the back of the vehicles and hence faced more danger of being blown up by the devices they were trained to sniff out. More than 40 such dogpod-fitted vehicles will hit Afghanistan, the first few by this year end.
