A canine with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) chews on a tennis ball as a reward for finding hidden explosives during an exercise at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Hawaii, Feb. 22, 2018. The exercise provided training opportunities for canine handlers with the U.S. Marine Corps, Army, and Navy, as well as with the Honolulu Police Department and the TSA. The exercise also allowed the agencies to cooperate and work through a simulated scenario, which strengthened their interoperability and cohesion, and overall readiness.

“You don’t have to be a big dog to be a soldier dog. Lars J274, a Jack Russell terrier with a Napoleon complex, is the perfect size for sniffing out bombs in submarines. It was fun following Lars and his handler, Navy Master at Arms 3rd Class Cameron Frost, into the USS Norfolk. Judging by the laughs and comments ("Fear the terriers!"), the submariners we encountered were more used to seeing German shepherds do this job. Of course, getting a shepherd down into a sub is no easy task,” said Maria Goodavage, author of “Soldier Dogs.” Photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Paul D. Williams, U.S. Navy
