4 CANINES GIVEN TOP HONORS軍用犬に最高勲章

It was hot out, the dogs were lined up, but with good reason.
Four veterans came to Capitol Hill today to receive the nation's highest honor for their service and sacrifice. Heroic hounds who served with unending devotion, loyalty, and yes, the occasional slobber. Dogs like Sergeant Fieldy, who bravely served four combat tours in Afghanistan. And Isky T116, his service number tattooed there in his ear. The military says he saved countless lives, sniffing out explosives.
(Mary Bruce / ABC News)
"Isky here is a life saver."
(Sgt. Wes Brown)
"He is, yes, brought a lot of people home and brought me home."
Including Army Sergeant Wes Brown. Both injured in the field, now both helping each other off the field.
(Sgt. Wes Brown)
"I feel safe with him every time we go anywhere."
