Dogs are held in high reguard here, fuck I love mine to death. In Iraq/Middle East, they're just like rats basically. All over the place, barking and giving your position away, and carrying nasty diseases. Now a few are used for the goat hearders and what not, but other than that, they're utter pests. Reason why we'd try to confirm our zeros on them. If I hit a running dog @ 400 meters, then I'm good to go when I see a Madi Militia member/Insurgent running with an AK or RPG @ 400 meters. It looks bad, but when you're in that mind set over there, the emotions aren't a priority.
