Local radio website picture of the week
 

I was surprised (pleasantly) to see this as a "Picture of the week" :lifter

Damn that's got to hurt that Dog.. Helo at 80 Knots + forward throw + four Legs + body weight + Moving WATER!!

Wait this must be that SEAL DOG back from the front Lines.. :D

Where did the 80 knots come from?

I thought the casting goal was 10 and 10?

Your right.. I thought I saw a Chute on his back.. 10 to 20 Knots for Helo Casting.

It's an Army PAO shot from 10th SFG(A)'s recent Emerald Warrior 11 participation. It actually made the AKO "cool guy" photo on the intro page a couple of months ago.

Helocast
 

Dogs name is Pronto, was a 10 and 10, dog took it like a champ, then did a follow on mission, and yes that is me with the K9.

Made ABC news too.
 

Looks like you're famous Sonic:

Dogs are great on the OBJ.. Outside of the "bomb Dogs". Locals hate them and they work very well.

Which Vibram 5-fingers are you wearing Sonic?

Dogs equipped with titanium teeth? Ian Fleming would approve.

Well done, brother.

Does the dog get to shit shotgun in the Cobra as well?

Say what???

TR

I don't know. Isn't he potty trained?

Ah man I didn't even catch the auto correct on the phone.

I meant to say "does the dog get to SIT shotgun in the cobra?".

I have no idea why the iPhone autocorrected that one to become shit. Haha sorry about that

text + pic from here

Pronto, a Special Operations Forces Multi Purpose Canine, successfully jumped out of a CH-47, Chinook helicopter during Emerald Warrior training exercise at Hurlburt Field, Florida in this March 1, 2011 photograph. This was the first time a dog jumped with a team, allowing members to utilize him in real world situations.

A friend sent me this link with pictures of US service dogs, including Sonic and Pronto..
