Actually, if jumping from great heights (or at night) you want the dog strapped to you. Since they weigh a lot less than the average soldier (especially with combat gear), the dog will stay in the air a lot longer and or drift.
Makes re-consolidation on the ground a lot easier.

Not only do they kick ass on the battlefield, they help our soldiers once they return home: [www.time.com]
Really, there’s no limit to what Man’s best friend can do.

@RedKeil…I was assigned to write something about War Dogs a year or two ago and have been mildly fascinated with them ever since. Was fun digging back around for info on them, especially the long-gone War Dogs like Sgt. Stubby.
