Military dogs are not only a man's best friend, they are also a country's best friend.

These canine companions are specially trained to sniff out bombs and IED devices and many have lost their lives protecting their handlers.

Some of these dogs include Lex, a Belgian Malinois who would wait for his handler to sleep before crawling out of their foxhole to stand guard in the rain, and Robby, a retired war dog who served THREE tours of duty!

These doggies are simply uhMAZing!

Master Chief and NCO of dog operations in Afghanistan said the following about military dogs:

The bond will pull you through the toughest situations.I don't think there's anything else in the world that can compare to the bond between a handler and dog.

We'd like to thank all of the dogs who served this country faithfully!

So park rangers have literally militarized.

This is crazy.

The have machine guns and run through drills and exercises so they can take on the poachers who kill poor rhinos just to get their horns.

26 poachers have died because of intense gun fights with the park rangers!

Check out the above video to hear more about their story.
