Elite, bulletproof commando canines go to war

By Lewis Page

Latest from the Wars On Stuff: The Register has learned that top-secret, super-elite US Navy SEAL special forces are to deploy heavily armoured bulletproof dogs equipped with infrared nightsight cameras and an “intruder communication system” able to penetrate concrete walls.

Government documents obtained* by The Register reveal that US Naval Special Warfare Group One yesterday awarded an $86,000 contract to Canadian firm K9 Storm Inc for the supply of “Canine Tactical Assault Vests” for wear by SEAL dogs.
