Adopt A Dawg

Feed the Dawgs Adopts the

8th Security Forces Squadron

Military Working Dog Section

Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea

The base is on the western seaboard of the Korean peninsula on the coastline of the Yellow Sea and located approximately 150 miles south of Seoul. The 8^th Fighter Wing is/has been host to the 3^rd Wing, the 35^th Fighter Squadron, the 49^th Fighter Wing, the 80^th Fighter Squadron, and the 354^th Fighter Wing. Kunsan (“K8” to Korean War Veterans) was the home of the 8^th Attack Squadron, 13^th Bomb Squadron, and the 731^st Bomb Squadron – all flying Douglas A/B26 Invaders, the most prolific bomber of the Korean War. Nam Vets will remember the Thai-based B26K Nimrods. It is noteworthy that the 8^th Security Police Squadron saw duty in Thailand (Ubon RTAB) during the Vietnam War.

Iian (right) is pretty clear about the thoughts of having to make another guard mount.

Floor (left) and Archie (right) reflect the continued mix of Shep and Mal deployments throughout the United States Military. Both breeds are extremely effective in a wide variety of climates.

Emzy (below) is going to remind a lot of OLD DAWGS of their cherrished pooches.

A Ray-Allen Christmas comes early for the 8th Security Forces Squadron Military Working Dog Section.

TSgt Alexander, the Boots at Kunsan kennels, and the Feed the Dawgs committee would like to thank Crew Chief Ken Neal for helping to make the Kunsan Adoption a distinctly significant success.

8th SFS-K9 Plays Key Role

The 8th Security Forces Squadron Military Working Dog Section has been highlighted and honored with representation in the Feed the Dawgs Military K9 Heritage Exhibit at March Field Air Museum, Riverside, California. The special display traces heritage of the 8th back to Ubon, Thailand, during the Vietnam War era.

For security reasons, we will neither divulge information regarding the size nor the staffing of the kennel other than to suggest that it is a fully staffed facility with a normal contingent of “boots.” Photos on the Feed the Dawgs web site or the Military K9 Heritage Exhibit at March Field Air Museum (California) will reflect few names, although all Dawgs know what a small community K9 Handlers are.

If you’d like to feel really good about yourself while recognizing the patriotism and dedication of today’s military dog handler, join us in providing special recognition and an occasional treat for the Dawgs around the world that aren’t necessarily parked in the “sand box.” Donations are always welcome and appreciated.

Watch for future photos from Kunsan

Feed the Dawgs!

There's Dawgs . . . then there's everybody else!
