When it comes to the use of animals, especially in securing an area or territory, dogs, which have complex behaviors, playfulness, and trainability, are among the domestic animals usually considered. This is because dogs possess attributes that enable them to develop a good relationship with humans, and this accounts for the reason why they are kept at home and used for security purposes.


However, because of their friendly nature and sensitivity to things around them, the military has worked hard to devise better ways for dogs to be used to assist them when it comes to the issue of security, and the U.S. army K9 unit of the United States military has been well trained to work with certain dogs in order to locate the hideouts of terrorists, crime scenes, find hidden explosives, detect drugs, and track terrorists in a bid to attack them unaware.


To assist soldiers in performing their work in a more effective way, special dog breeds that are fierce looking, like the German Shepherd, are trained not only to recognize each soldier attached to them but also to be able to understand them, obey every directive given to them, and search out places or things they have been trained to locate.


The dogs used by the U.S. army are not only intelligent, as seen by their response to training and ability to learn quickly, but also strong and capable of attacking terrorists.
