The event that altered Nemo's life began on Dec. 4, 1966. He and his handler, A1C Robert A. Throneburg of Charlotte, N.C., were on patrol at Tan Son Nhut AB. The proceeding day, Tan Son Nhut had been hit by a Viet Cong mortar attack. During the attack about 60 VC swept through an opening they made in the base perimeter's barbed wire fence.

The infiltrators were stopped and turned back by the 377th Security Police Squadron's main line of defense. But four VC eluded discovery by earlier search parties and were hiding within the base's perimeter. It was the sentry dog's job to find them.

In the silence of darkness, the two sentries walked cautiously forward. Suddenly their search ended. Nemo had alerted them to a group of hidden VC. "Watch him," said Airman Throneburg. The dog's muscles tensed for action. "Get him!" -- was the next command and Nemo lunged savagely forward, into the enemy's nest. Airman Throneburg followed close behind.

In the first moments of encounter, Airman Throneburg killed two of the VC. But, before additional security police could reach them, Airman Throneburg was wounded in the shoulder and Nemo's nose was creased by a bullet. The remaining enemy were soon killed by other security police.

Nemo was credited not only with saving the life of Airman Throneburg, but indirectly prevented further destruction of life and property at Tan Son Nhut.

The 377th SPS was awarded the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for its "heroic valor," against the Viet Cong infiltration force.

Join us today to Celebrate Wear Brown Shoes Day. This kooky holiday was originally established to give some love to Brown Shoe Wearers, who were traditionally the workers. Although our heroic K9 may not have received the memo, clearly his handler did.

Here is the vascular system in a canine head. This highlights the enormous amount of blood flow in the dogs nose. This blood flow serves many purposes, fuels the scent chambers, aids in temperature regulation, allows dogs to effectively track, but this also makes the dogs nose incredibly sensitive to touch. This is the main reason we do not use face harnesses. There are plenty of tools designed to communicate with dogs that do not put pressure on one of their most sensitive features.

I cannot take credit for this photo.

Many don't know this information, and remember every second matters during a choking incident. ❤ 🐕🐩🐶🦮🐕‍🦺

1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog, adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.

2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.

3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.

Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work so don't hesitate to save your dog.

This has made a bad situation worse. Currently DK9TF & WoK9 has 12 working dogs in the New Orleans, Louisiana area, it is not easy for us to just simply pick up and go. We do not have a generator, no update on when electric will be restored other than reports in October. We did not have the option to evacuate due to both vehicles breaking down and months and months of waiting for funds from SBA because of the impact from Covid. Due to a clerical issue on their part, our funds was not deposited. It has now been almost 3 months since I corrected the issue and we still have received nothing. Contacting them isn’t an option when they don’t return emails or voicemails. Something has to give.

Cyka is a 3 year old dual purpose german shepherd who is currently working on the USPCA certification. Over the 3 months of article search training in parks, he has found 3 lacrosse balls, 7 base balls, 2 golf balls and 2 tennis balls. Cyka is always the dog who carries the sticks too big to fit through the door.
