I meet Darnell at his retirement facility for veteran dogs of the war, his wife and him run it. Here is a picture of his dog. Darnell and I talked about the relationship between a dog and his trainer. We also talked about how every country began to use them to track down the virus. Darnell had seen several dog handlers kill themselves after their dogs had gone into missions and die. Dogs were able to take down zombies by ramming into them and running away. Darnell's dog, Maze, was protected by two guard dogs every mission she went on. The dogs were so smart eventually on a mission where the Army had to kill a building full of zombies, a dog ran across to another building and made the zombies jump out to their deaths. Darnell eventually wanted to petition for "explosive packs"on their backs and if they were suffering in combat, dog trainers could detonate the packs and end the suffering of dogs. They were overruled because a commander figured out that Nazis used dogs to blow up tanks. I think that the commander was being very dumb and I wonder how Maze lived though all her missions?

Dogs were definitely a go to for difficult situations in the war. It must have been extremely hard to pull the plug on their own dogs they have made a great companionship with. Maisey was also a very forunate dog, being able to survive the many missions she was assigned to.
